Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for producing a torquecontrolled voluminous set yarn. False twisting means are employed to impart a relatively low number of twists per inch to a torque stretch yarn passed under low tension in the region of a yarn heater. The covering power of the yarn, i.e., the bulk or voluminosity of the yarn, thus produced is enhanced and residual torque in the yarn is controlled. Also disclosed is a set yarn with high bulk and reduced torque characteristics and a fabric produced therefrom.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for producing yarn, especially textured thermoplastic yarn, including winding the yarn up into a soft package suitable for reprocessing, as by autoclaving, to yield set yarn.
