Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a polyamide multifilament yarn comprising a plurality of polycapramide multifilaments and having a high softness, a mild touch, a level-dyeing property and an excellent colorfastness to washing and laundering. The individual filaments in this yarn are characterized by a birefringence of 0.045 or more, a denier of 0.8 or less and a ratio of the X-ray diffraction intensity I 23 at an angle (2θ) of 23.2 degrees to the X-ray diffraction intensity I 21 at a peak formed at an angle (2θ) of approximately 21 degrees which ranges from 0.50 to 1.00. A process for producing the above-mentioned polyamide yarn is also disclosed.
