Abstract
A method and apparatus for producing a composite bulked or texturized yarn having a generally uniformly bulked core yarn component of continuous filaments having groups of core yarn filaments extending outwardly from the core component in undulatory waves having substantially less filament density than the core component, and having a varyingly bulked effect yarn component of continuous filaments having groups of effect yarn filaments extending outwardly from the effect yarn component in undulatory waves such that the groups of effect yarn filaments form slubs at regions along the length of the composite yarn. The filaments forming the slubs return to each respective nucleus portion of the segment on each side of the slub. Selected filaments within the waves have different lengths so that the waves are comprised of filaments based at various distances from the core and are spaced from one another within the wave. The product is further characterized by the absence of closed or crunodal loops and by the undulatory shape of the waves.
