Abstract

A process for making a fasciated spun yarn by drafting and pneumatically false twisting a bundle of staple fibers is disclosed. In the method, the width W (mm) of a bundle of fibers measured just upstream of the nip point of a pair of second rollers of a drafting zone and a yarn count N (Nm) of the spun yarn are set to satisfy the following equation: ##EQU1## and the overfeed ratio of the bundle of fibers during the false twisting operation is 5% at most. The fasciated spun yarn made by this process has a straight shape, resembles a ring-spun yarn and has sufficiently stable strength.
