The structure and properties of air textured yarns are influenced by the dynamic friction of the parent filament yam. We have demonstrated this by texturing under various conditions two similar multifilament yarns with different spin finishes. We have analyzed the effects of water and mechanical stretch on the structure and properties of the air textured yams. We present here a new classification of surface loops of air textured yarns and analyze the effect of interfilament friction and water on different types of loops.
