Abstract

A boucle yarn is prepared by relaxed heat treatment of a precursor yarn prepared by combination of a low shrinkage filament or yarn or monofil at the back of the front roller of a spinning frame with a roving of high shrinkage fibers followed by twisting to a twist multiplier of 1.5 to 4.0. The shrinkage differential between the high shrinkage fibers and the low shrinkage fibers must be at least 20%.
