Abstract

A friction-textured elastic yarn is prepared by twisting a single-component multifilament melt-spinnable polymer yarn having an initial modulus of 80 to 150 cN/tex and a melting point of at least 200.degree. C. at a speed of at least 200 m/min, the thus twisted yarn is heat-set at 160.degree. to 190.degree. C. to produce a fixated yarn, and the fixated yarn is friction-textured at a pretension of 0.5 to 3.0 cN/tex.
