Potential bulky polyester associated bundles or yarns for woven or knitted fabric include spontaneously heat extensible multi-filament A and heat shrinkable multi-filament B. The associated bundles are interlaced at 20-100 interlaces/m. For multi-filament A, the following physical properties apply: &lt;3 denier as a single bundle; 20-80% denier ratio content in associated bundles, wet shrinkage at 100.degree. C. (SHW (A))=0-5%, dry shrinkage at 160.degree. C. (SHD (A))=-15-0%. The properties pertaining to multi-filament B include: fracture tenacity&gt;4 g/denier, denier ratio of 80-29% content in associated bundles, SHW (B)&gt;5-60%. Additionally, SHD (B)-SHD(A)&gt;5%. The invention also relates to processes for forming the bundles and for weaving the bundles into fabric.
