Meaning of textured yarn: Textured yarns are synthetic filament yarns that are made bulky or stretchy by
heating or other techniques. In yarns used for weaving, the warp, or lengthwise, yarns are usually made
stronger, more tightly twisted, smoother, and more even than the filling or crosswise.

Textured yarns are qualified as:

High stretch 300 to 400%with moderate to high bulk. Modified stretch yarns: They are produced by the
presence of second heating zone during false twist or edge crimping process. They have moderate stretch
(100-150%) with high bulk.

Textured yarns can be broadly classified into three categories, which are:
Stretch yarns: These yarns show high stretch, moderate bulk per unit weight and helical crimpiness. The
elastic extensibility can be as high as 400%. These yarns are mostly used for the stretch-to-fit type
fabrics.

Modified stretch yarns: These yarns exhibit moderate degree of stretch, high bulk per unit weight,
helical or planner crimpiness. The yarns are used in shirtings, suitings etc.

 Bulk yarn: These yarn exhibit increased bulk with little or no stretch, loopy structure and common
extensibility. These yarns are also used in shirting, suiting etc.

Principle of texturing:

A filament yarn is generally textured through three steps.

The first step is to distort the filament in the yarn so that the inter-fiber bond is broken.
Twisting or other means are used to distort the filaments within a yarn.

The second step is to heat the yarn, which breaks bonds between polymers, allowing the filaments to stay
crimped.

The last step is to cool the yarn in the distorted state to enable new bonds to form between the polymers. When
the yarn is untwisted or otherwise released from its distorted slate, the filaments remain in a coiled or crimped

• False-twist coiling method:
• False-twist coiling can be done by the following processing operations:
❖ At first the yarn from supply package is fed by feeding arrangement to the heater and then it enters in the
false twist mechanism for twisting. After the yarn emerges from the false twist mechanism it is untwisted
and forwarded by the delivery unit to take-up package.
❖ The feed yarn has little or no twist, the yarn between A and B has false twist and the yarn leaving B has
the some twist as the input.
❖ If heat is applied in the zone AX and the yarn is cooled in zone XB, then the yarn approaching B will be
heat set in the twisted condition.
❖ When the filaments relax, the uneven contraction of the filaments causes them to rearrange themselves
laterally.
• If heat is applied in zone CD, the latent coiled can be developed to produce a bulked yarn in one
continuous process

• Stuffer-box crimping method
❖ The stuffer-box crimping technique is
so called because the yarns are rapidly
stuffed into a heated, box-like chamber.
Because the yarns are with-drawn
slowly, they buckle and back up on
themselves. The three-dimensional
crimp is permanently set by the heat.
The stuffer-box method is a fast and
inexpensive method for carpeting yarn.

• Air-jet texturing method
❖ In air-jet texturing, filament
yarns are fed over a tiny blast
of air that forces the filament
into loops. This type of yarn is
also called air-textured or air-
entangled.

• Knit-de-knit crinkling method
• Knit-dc-knit crinkling produces a crinkled or
wavy configuration. Multifilament yarns are
first knitted into a fabric. The fabric is then
heat set and subsequently unraveled (dc-
knit). The knitting gauge (the number of
loops per inch) determines the size of the
yarn waves. This technique is frequently
combined with the application of dyestuffs
to produce uniquely colored and textured
yarns for soft floor coverings

• Gear crimping method
• In gear crimping, intermeshing
gears introduce a two-
dimensional crimp to filaments.
Heat can be used to
permanently set the crimped
filaments

• Advantages of textured yarn:
Higher bulk
Greater water absorption
Increased warmth
Good draping capacity
Better air permeability
Better dimensional stability
Higher covering power
Higher hygienic characteristics
Pleasing hand and appearance.

• Disadvantages of textured yarn:

Increased hairiness
Reduced strength and abrasion resistance
•
• End use of textured yarn:
• Textured yarns are used for manufacturing a wide variety of textile products: hosiery, knitted underwear and outer wear, and shape-retaining knitted fabrics for men’s and
women’s suits and overcoats. They are also used in the production of artificial fur, carpets, blankets, and drapery and upholstery fabrics.
