Bulked yarn and method of forming a bulked yarn

The method of producing a bulked yarn comprising:

• intermittently and alternately reducing and increasing the speed of a plurality of yarns leaving a first zone;
• feeding the plurality of yarns into a second zone of fluid turbulence to form a bulked strand having primary regions having a first degree of bulkiness and secondary regions having a second degree of bulkiness;
• and
• tensioning the bulked strand to form the bulked yarn, the tension being sufficient to permanently decrease the degree of bulkiness of the primary and secondary regions.

A method of producing a bulked yarn comprising:

• advancing a core yarn and an effect yarn to a first zone at substantially the same first speed;
• intermittently varying the speed of the effect yarn leaving the first zone;
• feeding the core yarn and the effect yarn having the varying speed into a zone of fluid turbulence and withdrawing the bulked yarn from the zone of fluid turbulence at a second speed less than the first speed to form the bulked yarn having segments having a first degree of bulkiness and slubbed portions having a greater degree of bulkiness than the segments;
• and
• tensioning the bulked yarn sufficiently to reduce the texturization of the core yarn to permanently increase the difference in bulkiness between the segments and the slubbed portions.

The method of producing a bulked yarn comprising:

• advancing a core yarn at a constant predetermined first velocity;
• advancing an effect yarn along a primary path at a constant predetermined second velocity, the first and second velocity being substantially equal;
• deflecting the effect yarn from the primary path at randomly varying intervals for randomly varying distances;
• and,
• then feeding the core yarn effect yarn into a zone of fluid turbulence to form the bulked yarn and withdrawing the bulked yarn from the zone of fluid turbulence at a third velocity less than the second velocity.

The method of producing a bulked yarn comprising:

• advancing a core yarn at a constant predetermined first velocity;
• advancing an effect yarn along a primary path at a constant predetermined second velocity;
• deflecting the effect yarn from the primary path at randomly varying intervals for randomly varying distances;
• and
• then feeding the core yarn and effect yarn into a zone of fluid turbulence to form the bulked yarn and withdrawing the bulked yarn from the zone of fluid turbulence at a third velocity less than the second velocity wherein the first velocity is less than the second velocity but greater than the third velocity.

The method of producing a bulked yarn comprising:

• advancing a core yarn at a constant predetermined first velocity;
• advancing an effect yarn along a primary path at a constant predetermined second velocity;
• deflecting the effect yarn from the primary path at randomly varying intervals for randomly varying distances;
• continuously supplying pulse-like electrical signals having a randomly varying period of duration at randomly varying intervals and controlling said deflecting in response to such signals;
• and
• then feeding the core yarn and effect yarn into a zone of fluid turbulence to form the bulked yarn and withdrawing the bulked yarn from the zone of fluid turbulence at a third velocity less than the second velocity.
