To improve the manufacture of multicolored yarns in which there are differences in the color tone along their length, there is provided a multicolored yarn which is a spun yarn consisting of a substantially untwisted bundle of core staple fibers and several wrapping staple fibers winding helically around said bundle of core staple fibers, the said bundle of core staple fibers comprising two or more kinds of staple fibers which are different from each other in color tone or in dyeability, and has, at random intervals, parts where staple fibers of one kind cover up the other component or components and parts where at least two kinds of components lie adjacent to each other (a). …<??>Such a multicolored yarn is manufactured by simultaneously drafting two or more kinds of slivers or rovings (4,5), which are different from each other in color tone or in dyeability and placing them adjacent to each other or with a little space between them, feeding the drafted slivers or rovings through nip rollers (6) and twisting them, (9), thereby to produce a twisted bundle of staple fibers and free outside staple fibers which are not twisted into said bundle of staple fibers, then integrating said twisted bundle of staple fibers and the free outside staple fibers which have not been twisted into said bundle of staple fibers into a whole, and then detwisted and taking up such by a winder (16). |
