ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process is provided for preparing self- crimpable monocomponent fibers by the sequential steps of melt-spinning a polymer of polyhexamethylene adipamide or polycaproamide into filaments, quenching the filaments by a gentle cross-flow of air to an average surface tempera- ture of about 40 to 130°C, applying an effective amount of water to the filaments while they are in said temperature range, and then drawing the filaments at a draw ratio of at least 1.3:1 to obtain a tenacity of at least 1.3 gdp, a break elongation of less than 120% and a latent, substan- tially helical, frequently reversing crimp of at least 6 filament crimp index. The novel products of the inven- tion, which include fibers and yarns, in self-crimpable or crimped condition, are particularly suited for use in carpets.
