ABSTRACT:
A continuous process is disclosed for producing a heather yarn from a continuous filament polyester feed yarn having a residual draw ratio in the range of from 1.6 to 2.0 and a continuous filament polyamide feed yarn having a residual draw ratio in the range of from 106 to 120 percent of the residual draw ratio of the polyester feed yarn. The process involves the steps of: (1) combining the yarns; (2) false twist texturing and drawing the combined yarns in a draw-texturing zone comprising feed rolls, a heating means, a friction twisting element and draw rolls; (3) randomly entangling the combined and textured yarns together in a jet-intermingling zone formed by an air jet device; and (4) withdrawing the heather yarn so produced.
