Abstract
A decorative composite non-plied frieze yarn for use in embroidering, sewing and the like. The composite yarn includes a core formed from a single plied frieze yarn having a spiral wrap of a decorative metallic yarn applied in a first rotational direction thereto and subsequently a non-metallic cover yarn spirally applied thereover in a second opposite direction. The single ply frieze core yarn itself includes a non-metallic core strand about which a first metallic strand is spirally wrapped in a first direction and subsequently about which a non-metallic cover yarn is wrapped in a second opposite rotational direction. Accordingly, the present composite frieze yarn includes three non-metallic strands and two metallic strands.
Claims6
The method of forming a relatively heavy composite metallic frieze yarn suitable for use in embroidery, sewing and the like comprising, feeding a single ply frieze yarn of the type having a non-metallic core yarn about which a metallic yarn is initially spirally wound in a first rotational direction and thereafter about which a non-metallic cover yarn is spirally wound in a second opposite rotational direction in a generally longitudinal path to a first wrapping station, spirally wrapping a metallic yarn about said frieze yarn in said first rotational direction at said first station, thereafter directing said frieze yarn to a second wrapping station displaced longitudinally downstream from said first station, spirally wrapping a non-metallic cover yarn about said frieze yarn in said second direction and subsequently taking up the non-plied composite frieze yarn thus formed.
A relatively heavy non-plied decorative metallic, composite frieze yarn suitable for use in embroidery, sewing and the like comprising a composite core yarn including a non-metallic core yarn about which a first metallic yarn is spirally wound in a first rotational direction and over which a first non-metallic cover yarn is spirally wound in a second opposite rotational direction, said composite core yarn having a second metallic yarn spirally wrapped thereover in one rotational direction and a second non-metallic cover yarn spirally wrapped thereover in a second direction opposite to that of said one rotational direction.
