Abstract
Abstract Textile articles comprise yarns of a synthetic thermoplastic material, especially polyethylene terephthalate, in which the individual filaments comprise alternating zones of increasing and decreasing thickness, the thinner zones having the higher crystallinity index and vica versa; the filaments have a nonspiral three-dimensional crimp, and both they, and the yarn comprising them, have a high apparent volume. The yarn is made by only partially stretching the initial yarn in contact with a crack promoting agent such as an aqueous alcohol, and subsequently giving the yarn, before or after it is made up, a heat treatment while it is in a relaxed state.
