Disclosed is an improved friction twisting element for use in a textile yarn false twist spindle. The disclosed friction twisting element, mounted in a false twist spindle capable of rotation about its longitudinal axis, engages a strand of yarn and imparts a plurality of turns of twist to the yarn for each revolution of the spindle. The size and shape of the friction twist element are such that tension fluctuations in the yarn are minimized during the operation of the device. The size and shape of the friction element will also maximize the frictional engagement between the element and the yarn and will avoid yarn slippage that is characteristic of a friction twisting element that has a large variation between the inside and outside diameter of the yarn engaging surface.
