Definitions for "Bulked Continuous Filament"
Continuous strands of synthetic fiber made into yarn without spinning; often extruded in modified cross section such as multi-lobal, mushroom or bean shape and/or texturized to increase bulk and covering power.
Used to increase cover and bulk, these are the continuous strands of synthetic fiber used to form bundles of yarn. These strands are textured to create kinked and curled textures.
Continuous strands of synthetic fiber formed into yarn bundles of a given number of filaments and texturized to increase bulk and cover. Texturizing changes the straight filaments into kinked or curled configurations. Continuous filament fibers produce less "fuzz" than a staple yarn.
