An air textured yarn (ATY) is disclosed. The ATY includes a first filament having a first cross section, and a second filament disposed adjacent to the first filament having a second cross section, wherein the first cross section has a substantially circular shape and has a degree of modification (M ratio) less than or substantially equal to 1.3, the second cross section has a polygonal shape including 3 to 6 lobes, and a difference between a length of the first filament and a length of the second filament is less than or substantially equal to 4%. Further, a method of manufacturing the ATY is also disclosed.

A production apparatus and production method for colored spun yarn with fiber dyeing and mixing in a spinning process is provided. The production apparatus is a ring spinning machine. The ring spinning machine includes a front table board and a rear table board with a same structure. Each of the front table board and the rear table board is formed by a plurality of spindles with a same structure. Each spindle includes a drafting system. A roving feeding bell mouth is connected at the rear of the drafting system, and a splitting plate is arranged at the front of the drafting system. A dyeing system is arranged at the front of the splitting plate. A color fixing system is added at the front of the dyeing system. A bunching bell mouth device and a delivery roller pair are arranged at the front of the color fixing system.

A dyeing and welding process may be configured to convert a substrate into a welded substrate having at least some color imparted thereto via a dye and/or coloring agent by applying a process solvent having a dye and/or coloring agent therein to the substrate, wherein the process solvent interrupts one or more intermolecular force between one or more component in the substrate. The substrate may be configured as a natural fiber, such as cellulose, hemicelluloses, and silk. The process solvent may include a binder, such as dissolved biopolymer (e.g., cellulose). After application of a process solvent comprised of a dye and/or coloring agent, the substrate may be exposed to a second application of a process solvent comprised of a binder, which second application may occur before or after a process temperature/pressure zone, process solvent recovery zone, and/or drying zone.

Processes for steam jet bulking of multicomponent yarns, yarns produced via these processes, packages of wound multicomponent yarns produced via these processes, and stretch fabrics and articles of manufacture of these yarns and stretch fabrics are provided.

A method of manually forming a knitted product by using the knitting yarn; and the knitted product obtained thereof are provided. The knitting yarn for manually forming the knitted product without tools includes a thread having a length dimension extending along an axis; a plurality of loops affixed to or formed with the thread by extending outwardly of the thread; and each of the plurality of loops defining an interior space adapted to receive another loop of the plurality of loops. The plurality of loops includes a first loop set mainly extending outwardly along +y axis and a second loop set extending along −y axis; and the first loop set is symmetric to the second loop set around a symmetry axis.
