Sirospun yarns have been texturized using an air-jet process to improve the bulk of the parent yarn. The study examines the effects of twist in the parent yarn, as well as overfeed and air pressure during texturing on the properties of the textured yarn. When suitable process parameters are chosen, Sirospun yarns lend themselves to excellent texturing with desirable properties.
