A continuous-filament yarn made by extruding a synthetic polymer so that a substantial demise of molecular orientation is present in the resulting filaments, but further substantial molecular orientation is possible. Note 1: The resulting yarn will usually require to be drawn in subsequent processing in order to orient more fully the molecular structure and optimise tensile properties. Note 2.. Yarns of this type made by high-speed spinning are commonly used as a feedstock for producing draw-textured yarns (see draw-texturing) or for draw-warping.

(partially oriented yarns) - Nylon or polyester texturing feed yarns supplied by fibre producers to texturers for processing (texturing). Yarn is then sold to sheer hosiery, sock and half-hose knitters.
