A process, and apparatus for making a fasciated yarn from fibers. The process comprises the steps of subjecting the fibers to a draft cutting step, subjecting the draft cut fibers to at least one amendatory draft cutting step and subjecting the resulting fibers to a yarn formation step, wherein the fibers are continuously transferred from the draft cutting step to the yarn formation step without any substantial interruption of fiber movement between the steps. The apparatus consists in a draft cutting zone comprising spaced sets of rolls through which the fibers are conducted for subjecting the fibers to a draft cutting step, means forming a further draft cutting zone downstream of the aforesaid zone for subjecting the draft cut fibers to at least one amendatory draft cutting step, and a yarn forming means downstream of the amendatory draft cutting zone for subjecting the resulting fibers to a yarn formation step. Transfer means is provided between these zones whereby the fibers are continuously transferred from the draft cutting zone to the yarn formation zone without any substantial interruption of fiber movement between the zones.
