Fabrics comprising melt spun yarns having high lustre

摘要

The invention provides a profiled polyamide yarn having a yarn weight of from 5 to 300 dtex a filament weight of from 0.5-7 dtex and a non-circular profiled filament cross-section, wherein the polyamide comprises from 0.01 to 3% by weight of a non-white pigment melt dispersed therein. The yarns have a high, metallic lustre due to the combined effect of profiling and the non-white pigment. The invention also provides textile fabrics comprising the yarns, and garments comprising the said fabrics. The invention also provides methods of making the inventive yarns by spinning a polyamide melt having the non-white pigment dispersed therein.
