Abstract
A textile yarn carrier and method of manufacturing same for use in dyeing or wet finishing of the textile yarn and being characterized by an improved construction which allows for economical material reclamation and reusage and improved yarn delivery from the surface thereof. The carrier includes a tubular core having passageways through the wall thereof for the passage of dye or other wet finishing baths and constructed of a specific reclaimable material. A filter sleeve is wound and secured around the outside of the tubular core without the use of glue or other adhesive materials and with the edges thereof overlapping, for preventing entrapment of the yarn in the passageways of the tubular core and for providing filtration of the dye or other wet finishing baths. The filter sleeve is constructed of the same specific reclaimable material as the tubular core so that the entire carrier may be ground-up and reused in constructing further carriers of the same specific material. The filter sleeve is ultrasonically sealed to the tubular core and to itself along the overlapping edges to eliminate obstacles to yarn delivery from the carrier.
