Man-made fibre, yarn and textile produced therefrom

A man-made fibre of a material selected from the group consisting of polycaproamide and polyethylene terephthalate and displaying a complex cross-sectional shape formed of at least two elements each comprising three rays namely two outer rays and one middle ray situated between said outer rays, said rays of each element all intersecting each other at and emanating from a single point, with the rays of each element extending from said point thereof generally toward the rays of the other element, and said middle ray of each element forming with each outer ray thereof an angle within 10.degree. to 70.degree., said middle and outer rays of each element defining between themselves open capillary canals adding to mechanical cohesion between individual fibres, and a flexible bridge extending between, forming an extension of, and interconnecting the middle rays of both elements, said bridge being formed of the same material as the elements.
