The present invention is directed to a process for forming a yarn having at least one conductive filament wherein the conductive and nonconductive filaments which make up the yarn are simultaneously co-spun. The present process can be performed at spinning speeds of above about 3500 meters per minute to produce a yarn useful in antistatic carpet production.

Process for forming a yarn having at least one electrically conductive

A yarn having variable denier filaments with thick and thin regions is drawn at a draw ratio selected to break filaments in the thin regions. This may be done while false-twist texturing. The resulting broken ends protrude from the yarn, giving a spun-like yarn.

Process for making spun-like yarn with variable denier filaments

A textured continuous filament yarn combining a luxuriant, soft hand with improved moisture wicking for greater comfort in garments. Some filaments have a denier which varies at least 25% (preferably 300-500%), and other filaments have a spiral cross-section.

Spun-like yarn

A yarn for producing fabrics with a wool-like hand, by combining textured filaments with longer filaments preferably of larger average denier. The longer filaments thus protrude in loops from the yarn bundle.

Continuous filament yarn with wool-like hand

A yarn for producing fabrics with a wool-like hand, by combining textured filaments with longer filaments preferably of larger average denier. The longer filaments thus protrude in loops from the yarn bundle, and have helical cross-sections.
