A potentially bulky, processed yarn which is a substantially non-interlaced multifilament yarn of a thermoplastic synthetic fiber satisfying the characteristic values of R.sub.max /R.ltoreq.2.5, .DELTA.S.sub.5 .gtoreq.1.5, .DELTA.S.sub.50 .ltoreq.3.0, Y.gtoreq.1.3 and X.sub.T --X.ltoreq.1.0, where R.sub.max is maximum tension fluctuation width, R is average tension fluctuation width of a normal portion, .DELTA.S.sub.5 is difference in maximum shrinkage among each filament of a sample having a length of 5 cm, .DELTA.S.sub.50 is difference in maximum shrinkage among each filament of a sample having a length of 50 cm, X.sub.T is maximum tension, X is average tension and Y is degree of bulkiness/dry heat shrinkage. A bulky, processed yarn is obtained by supplying a substantially non-twisted thermoplastic multifilament yarn to a heated body under a tension of 10-120 mg/d with monofilaments contacting said heated body at an imaginary point of contact and monofilaments not contacting said heated body at said imaginary point of contact, at the same time contacting said yarn with said heated body within such a short period of time that the heat of said heated body may not uniformly be conducted to the multifilament yarn, and either immediately thereafter winding the yarn, or in the alternative not winding said yarn immediately thereafter, but contacting said yarn with another heated body under conditions not substantially elongating the yarn, thereby eliminating produced loops, and thereafter winding said yarn.

Method for producing an interlaced multifilament yarn comprising previously rubbing and scratching a material multifilament yarn with an intensity such that the individual filaments constituting the multifilament yarn are not substantially broken by a rotary rough surface member having sharp projections which are smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the individual filaments of the multifilament yarn; then diffusing at least one jetted fluid, each jetted in the yarn running direction along a predetermined yarn passage from a jetting aperture of a supply conduit; and then impinging the diffused jetted fluid against the running material multifilament yarn so that the individual filaments of the multifilament yarn mostly vibrate in a direction which is substantially parallel to a plane defined by the yarn running direction and the fluid jetting direction.

An apparatus for producing interlaced multifilament yarn having an improved configuration is disclosed. When a material yarn is treated by an interlacing apparatus provided with an interlacing nozzle wherein a hollow longitudinal space is formed therein and a jetted fluid is introduced into the hollow longitudinal space, the jet fluid is directed to an axis of the passage of a running yarn in the longitudinal space along a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of the yarn passage in such a condition that the jet fluid is diffused to a direction along the yarn passage. Accordingly, the individual filaments of the running yarn are vibrated about the axis of the running yarn passage, mainly along a plane defined by the axis of the yarn passage and the axis of a fluid conduit for supplying the jet fluid. According to such effective vibration of the individual filaments, a very stable interlaced configuration of the individual filaments can be created. If the material multifilament yarn is false twisted previous to the interlacing treatment, a more stable interlaced configuration of individual filaments can be created. The thus produced interlaced multifilament yarn has such a superior property that the degree of interlacing is increased by repeated stretch action and, consequently, the multifilament yarn thus produced is very suitable for use as a warp yarn without any additional twisting or sizing operation.

Disclosed is a bulky yarn made from a thermoplastic multifilament yarn. Each of the individual filaments forming the yarn has a randomly varying thermal shrinkage along its length. The filaments in the cross-section of the yarn also have randomly varying thermal shrinkages. The bulky yarn forms a plurality of loops having a stable and compact configuration, while the number of filament slack portions which project outwardly from the yarn surface is significantly decreased. A method for producing a bulky yarn possessing the above-mentioned construction is also disclosed. In the method, individual filaments forming the multifilament yarn are interlaced with each other, before or after which the yarn is subjected to a so-called random heat treatment. The interlaced and randomly heat-treated yarn is supplied at an over-feed condition to a fluid turbulent flow region which causes the individual filaments to form a plurality of loops and entanglements, and then the yarn is wound onto a package.
