However, when the drafting magnification is raised, the yarn strength is gained prominently on reaching about 4 times of the drafting magnification.
  • the single yarn strength depends on the core fiber strength and the strength of uniting the covering fiber, and as illustrated in the lower part of FIG. 10, the surrounding covering fiber (cotton 100%) wrapped around the elastic yarn 11 is small in area and the bonding is weak since the cross section area of the elastic yarn 11 is larger as the elastic yarn 11 is not fully pulled and therefore the occupying ratio of the surrounding covering fiber is low in the cross section of the core yarn 12 in case of the low drafting magnification, for the cross section area of the elastic yarn 11 becomes smaller in area when the elastic yarn 11 is spun in pulling condition and it is considered that the strong unite is acquired and the strength is much stronger as the ratio of the wrapped covering fiber is high.

  • the elastic yarn 11 is shortened to the core yarn longitudinal direction for shrinking and the part without the elastic fiber 11 that is the core fiber is generated by just the shrunken part as the bonding with the surrounding covering fiber is weak. Accordingly, considering the shrunken part of the elastic yarn 11 , the longer core yarn than the necessary core yarn for the loom and sewing machine is prepared actually and the margin to seam is necessary for the length, especially in the sewing movement based on this.
  • the core yarn of the present invention produced by pulling the elastic yarn 11 in the multiple times of the drafting magnification, is united with the surrounding covering fiber strongly even if the yarn end is cut, the shrinkage of the elastic yarn 11 is controlled by the covering fiber and the degree to shrink to the core yarn longitudinal direction can be small. Accordingly, the cost of the material for the elastic yarn 11 can be reduced as the marginal core yarn is reduced and there is no need to prepare the margin to seam in the sewing movement, unlike the core yarn produced by the ring spinning machine.
