Abstract
The present invention relates to fluid jet interlace apparatus and related methods for interlacing filaments into a yarn with the filaments intermingled with adjacent ones of the filaments and groups of the filaments to maintain unity of the yarn by frictional constraint between the filaments at periodic nodes along the yarn. The invention also relates to methods of making fluid jet interlace apparatus.
