A method for rethreading a yarn during false twist texturing of the yarn includes setting the temperature of a heater body outside a range having upper and lower limits so that if melted yarn adheres to the heater, the yarn vaporizes quickly if the temperature is above the upper limit or is easily removed by rethreading the yarn if the temperature is below the lower limit. The heater body has a total length between 0.8 and 1.2 m, the heater body and heating member divided into two pieces from upstream side to downstream side of the heat treating apparatus in ratio of length between 1:3 and 1: 1:5. The divided upstream heating member (12) is able to heat the upstream heater body (11) at a temperature higher than 370.degree. C., and the downstream heating member (22) is to heat the downstream heater body (21) at a temperature of between 200.degree. and 320.degree. C. or higher than 370.degree. C. The upstream heater body has yarn guides (15) disposed at a longitudinal pitch of at most 30 mm, and the downstream heater body has yarn guides ( 24) disposed at a longitudinal pitch between 80 and 120 mm.

Apparatus for heat treating a synthetic yarn during false-twist texturing

An elastic synthetic polymer filament having a multi-lobated cross-sectional profile is composed of (A) a filamentary axial constituent extending along the longitudinal axis of the filament, and (B) 3 to 8 filamentary lobe constituents radically protruding from and extending along the filamentary axial constituent each having a constricted portion thereof through which each filamentary lobe constituent is connected to the filamentary axial constituent, the cross-section of the filament satisfying the relationship (I):

Elastic synthetic polymer filament with multi-lobated cross-sectional

Novel polyester filamentary yarn is provided having (a) a fineness of 0.9 denier per filament or less, (b) an amorphous orientation in the range of 30% to 70% and (c) a negative .epsilon..sub.0.2 where said .epsilon..sub.0.2 is a structural integrity parameter. The yarn possesses ameliorated properties regarding a heat-setting property, a raising property, a dimensional stability and a twist resistance. The yarn finds its wide range of usage, for example, silky fabrics with an excellent fullness, pliability and liveliness, raised fabrics with thermally stabilized fluffs protruding straight-forwardly and an extremely soft hand, and uniformly creped fabrics with an improved surface contour are obtained therefrom.
