Subject field(s)

DEF

A method of producing yarn by combining two or more BCF [bulked continuous filament] fibers together.

OBS

Fibers are "locked" together via air jets at regular or irregular intervals. The process is used to get special effect yarn (i.e., mixing dye variants to get heather effects upon subsequent dying or combining different colors of solution dyed fiber). Various air-entangling processes exist making it possible to produce a wide range or esthetics in finished yarns, from highly blended, near solid looks to yarns where individual colors are accented and color separation mimics that of plied yarns.
