In this study, the effects of cotton fibre properties on the tenacity, elongation, unevenness and hairiness of the compact yarns were investigated in detail. For this purpose, compacted yarns having four different yarn counts as Ne 30/1, 40/1, 50/1 and 60/1 with similar twist coefficient between α e 4.2-4.4 were produced systematically. The fibre, sliver, roving and yarn, that in cops and package form, properties were measured step by step from the beginning to the end of yarn production. According to the findings, unevenness, imperfections, hairiness, breaking strength and elongation results of the compact yarns were evaluated taking into account unevenness results of sliver and roving, and fibre properties tested by High Volume Instruments (HVI).Keywords: Cotton, compact yarn, HVI, unevenness, hairiness, tenacity.
