Abstract
Abstract A composite filament suitable for manufacturing ladies'' stockings having a crimpability comprising at least two fiberforming components differing in shrinkability, which has such a particular cross section that one component is interposed into the other component, for example, in a wedge-shape and occupies only 5 to 30 percent of the peripheral surface of the filament, is manufactured by flowing two independent same or different spinning materials in opposite directions to each other in two ducts each connecting to a common conduit and combining them and interposing a thin layerlike flow of another spinning material different from the above-described spinning materials between the two spinning material flows at the combined portion in the abovedescribed particular cross-sectional shape and then extruding the thus combined spinning materials through the conduit from a common orifice.
