An apparatus and method of using the same are presented for commingling synthetic multifilament yarns such as polyester or the like. The apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart fluid jets which direct air at an acute angle from different directions to the moving yarn to distort and mesh the filaments. The first fluid jet is directed in a forward direction (with the yarn travel) whereas the second jet is in a reverse or opposing direction to the yarn path. The method utilizes compressed air and a high velocity yarn to form nips therealong at approximately 10 to 14 millimeter spacings to create a commingled yarn which is cohesive for use on high speed looms and for other operations.
