A method of making a yarn having a velvet feel, comprising the steps of:passing an inextensible thread in succession through a first pair of rollers, a heating oven, a false-twisting device, a second pair of rollers, and an interlacing device to a yarn-takeup spool; supplying an elastomer thread; prestretching said elastomer thread; combining the prestretched elastomer thread with said inextensible thread on said first pair of rollers and upstream of said false-twisting device to form a yarn therewith; imparting a false twist in said false-twisting device to said yarn formed upstream of said false-twisting device; subjecting said yarn to air interlacing said interlacing device; and stretching said yarn by rotating said second pair of rollers at a greater speed than said first pair of rollers.
