The differences in frictional forces acting between fabrics woven from filament yarns are dependent on the morphology of the fabrics and the rubbing direction. When one fabric is moved across a second stationary fabric and the projecting yarn waves of one of the fabrics is rubbed perpendicular to the yarn axes orientation, the Howell's characteristics of frictional resistance for the fabric and yarn have similar values.
