Polymer Into Individual Tapes, With Hot-stretching Either Before Or
After Slitting To Induce High Longitudinal Strength. The Draw Ratio
In Hot-stretching Is Kept Low Enough To Avoid Excessive Longitudinal
Fibrillation. The Tape Yarn So Produced Is Suitable For Weaving.

Fabrics In Which The Design Was Produced By Means Of Coloured
Threads Inserted By Hand As Required. Modern Tapestry Fabrics Are
Woven On Jacquard Looms, Coloured Yarns Being Used To Produce The
Desired Pattern. There Are Various Fabric Structures In Which Two Or
More Warps And Wefts Of Different Materials May Be Used. The Face Of
The Fabric Is Usually Of Uniform Texture, The Design Being Developed

| Textured
Yarn |
A
Continuous-filament Yam That Has Been Processed To Introduce Durable
Crimps, Coils, Loops Or Other Fine Distortions Along The Lengths Of
The Filaments. Note 1: The Main Texturing Procedures Which Are
Usually Applied To Continuous-filament Yarns Made From Or Containing
Thermoplastic Fibres, Are: (a) The Yarn Is Highly Twisted, Heat-set
And Untwisted Either As A Process Of Three Separate Stages (now
Obsolescent) Or As A Continuous Process (false-twist Texturing). In
An Infrequently Used Alternative Method, Two Yarns Are Continuously
Folded Together, Heat-set, Then Separated By Unfolding; (b) The Yam
Is Injected Into A Heated Stuffer Box Either By Feed Rollers Or
Through A Plasticizing Jet Of Hot Fluid (invariably Air Or Steam).
The Jet Process Is Sometimes Known As Jet Texturing, Hot-air Jet
Texturing, Or Steam-jet Texturing; (c) The Yam Is Plasticized By
Passage Through A Jet Of Hot Fluid And Is Impacted On To A Cooling
Surface (impact Texturing); (d) The Heated Yam Is Passed Over A
Knife-edge (edge Crimping), (now Obsolete); (e) The Heated Yarn Is
Passed Between A Pair Of Gear Wheels Or Through Some Similar Device
(gear Crimping); (f) The Yam Is Knitted Into A Fabric That Is
Heat-set And Then Unravelled (knit-deknit Texturing); (g) The Yam Is
Over-fed Through A Turbulent Air Stream (air-texturing, Air-jet
Texturing), So That Entangled Loops Are Formed In The Filaments; (h)
The Yarn Is Composed Of Bicomponent Fibres And Is Subjected To A Hot
And/or Wet Process Whereby Differential Shrinkage Occurs. Note 2:
Procedures (a) And (d) In Note I Above Gives Yams Of A Generally
High-stretch Character. This Is Frequently Reduced By Re-heating The
Yam In A State Where It Is Only Partly Relaxed From The Fully
Extended Condition, Thus Producing A Stabilized Yarn With The
Bulkiness Little Reduced But With A Much Reduced Retractive Power.
Note 3: The Procedure (g) May Also Be Applied To Fibres Which Are
Not Thermoplastic.
