Disclosed is a non-twisted, non-commingled, draw-textured, multi-colored yarn having enhanced luminosity and vibrancy of color. The yarn has a total denier of from 1000 to 4000 and is produced from 4 to 16 discrete component yarns of a particular coloration and/or dye receptivity which are longitudinally disposed in a side-by-side registration. Each component yarn has a denier of about 250 and is made up of a multiplicity of continuous filaments of 10 to 20 denier/filament, all of which have the same coloration and/or dye receptivity. There are from 2 to 8 different colorations or dye receptivities present in the yarn. However, there is no discernable predominance of a single coloration or dye receptivity in any longitudinal or transverse segment of the yarn. Moreover, fabrics prepared from this yarn do not possess undesirable patterns, streaks, or blotches of color.
