The present disclosure discloses a high resilience and stain resistant bulked continuous filament yarn. The yarn comprises a plurality of continuous filaments of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), wherein the polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) has intrinsic viscosity in the range of 0.8 to 1.3. The yarn is obtained by a process comprising melt spinning of the plurality of continuous filaments of PBT; extrusion of the plurality of continuous filaments; quenching of the extruded filaments; drawing of the quenched filaments; texturizing of the drawn filaments; cooling of the texturized filaments, overfeeding of the cooled-texturized filaments; and winding of the overfeed filaments with or without tangling for obtaining the high resilience and stain resistant bulked continuous filament yarn. The high resilience and stain resistant bulked continuous filament yarn has a stain resistance rating of more than 3 and a hexapod rating of 2 or more after 12000 cycles.

Process for the production of a multilayer fabric comprising the steps of: (a) feeding at least a first fabric (101) and a second fabric (102) to a constraining device (15), wherein the first fabric (101) is a non-woven fabric, comprising a plurality of filaments adapted to be crimped, preferably bicomponent filaments; (b) constraining said first and said second fabric (102) to each other, so that to define a plurality of constraining points or zones (P) between said first fabric (101) and said second fabric, and so that said first and second fabric (102) are superimposed; (c) heating said first and second fabric (102), so that the filaments of the first fabric (101) develop a crimp, thus increasing the thickness of the first fabric (101) and shrinking the length and the width of the first fabric (101), the shrinking of the first fabric (101) being greater than the shrinking of the second fabric (102).
