Abstract
A polymeric textile yarn having both moisture wicking and anti-microbial properties, and wherein the yarn is produced by a melt spinning process where an anti-microbial agent, and possibly also a colorant, are intimately admixed with the resin in the extruder. Also, the spinneret used in the spinning process includes a large number of minute cross-shaped openings which act to impart a non-regular cross section to the extruded filaments. The non-regular cross section causes voids to be formed between adjacent filaments when the filaments are gathered together to form a yarn, and the voids serve to wick moisture from the body of a wearer when the yarn is incorporated in a body garment. The yarn may include elastic filaments which are intermingled with the extruded filaments.
