    Abstract: A yarn structure is provided that imparts improved wrinkle resistance in fabrics produced therefrom. The yarn is composed of plurality of filaments or strands that are intermittently connected or fused by an essentially permanent bond, i.e., analogous to spot welding, along their lengths. The appropriate distribution of these points of bonding, preferably varying from a distance of about 20 filament diameters as an upper limit to a frequency of about one in 2,000 filament diameters measured along the length of the fiber as a lower density limit, is obtained by removing any size, lubricant or finish from the fiber, applying an electrical charge, and spraying or otherwise applying a thermoplastic polymer to the surface of the fiber. Droplets of the applied polymer adhere to the fiber and provide effective jointer points between adjacent fibers.
