Abstract
A method for producing a filament yarn with alternating S- and Z-twists. The yarn is moved between two twisting stops and submitted alternatively to S- and Z-twisting by at least one false twisting unit. The twists are fixed in a fixing unit situated downstream from the false twisting unit. The twisting stop downstream of the fixing unit is moved synchronously with the yarn and held in a yarn engagement position to stop the twisting until at least the twisting inversion points is fixed in the yarn. At least one other twisting stop oriented at a distance from the above mentioned moving twisting stop is engaged with the yarn in a way to stop the twisting and is moved along with the yarn before said yarn is submitted to an opposite twisting by the false twisting unit.
