495-498Effect of diagonal path on the physical properties of compact and conventional ring yarns has been investigated. The compact and conventional ring yarns have been spun using three completely different paths in the ring frame, like normal path, right diagonal path and left diagonal path. The yarn spun by the left diagonal path has an additional advantage over the other two paths for both conventional ring yarn and compact yarn in terms of yarn hairiness, yarn evenness, tenacity, elongation and breaking force
