Abstract

A spun polyester yarn containing ethylene terephthalate as the main or only recurring unit characterized by a percentage crystallinity (.beta..times.10.sup.2) of less than 20, a birefringence (.DELTA.n) of at least 50.times.10.sup.-3, a function A greater than 28 and a function B.gtoreq.16 where ##EQU1## and B=(A-100 .beta.) and wherein-IV is the intrinsic viscosity of the spun yarn, .DELTA.n is the birefringence of the spun yarn and (dpf) is the filament decitex of the spun yarn.
