1. A process for making a continuous filament yarn product having or capable of having a pixel color effect, said process comprising the steps of:

  • (i) supplying at least first and second continuous filament feed yarns which are differently colored or colorable to an interlacer;

    (ii) simultaneously, but independently, interlacing each said first and second feed yarns in said interlacer to obtain first and second interlaced yarns, respectively, each having spaced-apart nodes; and

    subsequently(iii) entangling the first and second interlaced yarns without substantial inter-yarn commingling to obtain a continuous filament yarn product in which each of said first and second interlaced yarns retains substantially its coherent identity in said yarn product, whereinstep (ii) includes contacting each of said first and second feed yarns with a flow of pressurized air which is periodically interrupted for up to about 50 milliseconds.
