Abstract

A false twist-crimped polyester yarn having a density (d) of 1.3800.ltoreq.d.ltoreq.1.3970 (g/cm.sup.3) and total percentage crimp (TC) of TC 30% is produced by false twisting a polyester multi-filament having a birefringence (.DELTA.n) of 0.030.ltoreq..DELTA.n.ltoreq.0.145 while heat setting the filament in the twisted state at 160.degree. to 210.degree. at a draft (dr) which satisfies the following equation: EQU -150(.DELTA.n) + 17.ltoreq.dr.ltoreq.0.9 .times. 10.sup.4 (.DELTA.n.sup.2)-29 .times. 10.sup.2 (.DELTA.n)+248.
