ABSTRACT:
Fibers, yarns and fabrics are produced from polymers, such as the copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate, having an elastic modulus of from 5,000 to 60,000 psi. The fibers are also characterized by an area moment of inertia of from 400.times.10.sup.-14 to 7,000.times.10.sup.-14 in.sup.4 and a stiffness parameter of from 1.times.10.sup.-5 to 1.times.10.sup.-8 lb-in.sup.2. Multiple fibers are spun into yarn, preferably cross-linked either chemically or by irradiation and are formed into pile fabrics for carpeting and similar uses. The pile fabric preferably has a minimum of 4,000 fibers per in.sup.2 of backing and a minimum pile height of 1/8 inch.
