Abstract:
A method for producing a yarn from at least two individual yarn components wherein at least one physical characteristic of the yarn components is different so as to produce a desired visual effect in the produced yarn, said method comprising:continuously supplying at least one yarn component in the form of a bundle of continuous filaments; individually texturizing the bundle of continuous filaments; conveying the texturized bundle of continuous filaments to a collective compacting stage; supplying at least one other yarn component from a source directly to the collective compacting stage; collectively compacting the bundle of continuous filaments and the at least one other yarn component together in the collective compacting stage; and controlling thread tension such that at least one of the yarn components in the collective compacting stage has a thread tension that differs from the thread tension of the other yarn components.
