Method of manufacturing twistless yarn and yarn made by this method

Method for the manufacture of twistless or substantially twistless yarn from a sliver or a roving which consists of a fibrous material containing at least two components, at least one component being a potential adhesive, in which method the sliver or roving is subjected to a number of processes, including at least wet-drafting of the sliver or roving to a thinner fibrous sliver, false twisting, the supply of additional moisture and bonding of the fibrous sliver by activation of the potentially adhesive component, and drying of the fibrous sliver, wherein the step of activation of the potentially adhesive component comprises passing the fibrous sliver through a narrow space and heating the sliver therein, so that in said narrow space an equilibrium is reached between the amount of moisture in the fibrous sliver and in the narrow space surrounding the fibrous sliver at a temperature within the dissolving range of the potentially adhesive component, while maintaining a residual moisture content in the fibrous sliver sufficient for good activation.
