Abstract
Abstract A spun yarn includes synthetic plastic staple fibers of at least three different titers. One of these titers is a medium titer which is within a range of about 6 microns of the average titer of the synthetic plastic fibers in the yarn. Another titer is a fine titer which is at most about 15 microns less than the average titer of the synthetic plastic fibers in the yarn. The third titer is a coarse titer which is at most about 15 microns in excess of the average titer of the synthetic plastic fibers in the yarn. The fibers of medium titer constitute a minimum of about two-thirds of the weight of the synthetic plastic fibers in the yarn. The selection of the titers in this manner enables a spun yarn of synthetic plastic fibers to be obtained which, to the touch, feels like a yarn made of natural fibers.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
As a novel article of manufacture, a spun yarn at least predominantly made from synthetic plastic staple fibers and having the touch of a yarn approximating that of a yarn made only of natural fibers, said synthetic plastic staple fibers of said spun yarn comprising synthetic plastic staple fibers of at least three different titers including a medium titer which is within a range of about 6 microns of the average titer of the synthetic plastic fibers in said yarn, a fine titer which is at most about 15 microns less than said average titer and a coarse titer which is at most about 15 microns in excess of said average titer, said fibers of medium titer constituting a minimum of about two-thirds of the weight of the synthetic plastic fibers in said yarn.
