textured polyester yarn made from drawn partially oriented yarn poy the finish may be applied by conventional techniques used to apply a lubricant emulsion to yarn by way of example the finish of the present invention may be applied from a kiss roll metered applicator sprayer or by immersion the add on of finish composition as is ranges from 1 to 30 wt owf preferably from 3 to 15 wt owf most preferably from 3 to 8 wt owf following application of the present finish to the yarn the yarn may be handled and processed as are yarns treated with conventional lubricants for example the yarn may be wound into a package and then formed into a fabric preferably a woven knitted fabric as is well known in the art the yarn or fabric may be scoured heat set and even dyed one of the advantages of the present process is that it is particularly useful when the yarn or fabric is not dyed since the soil release agent is applied early in the yarn processing process the dyeing step can be eliminated when it is desirable to do so surprisingly the performance and durability of the soil release treatment is not adversely affected by omission of the dyeing step or other treatment in a heated aqueous bath which was once thought necessary to exhaust the soil release agent into the fiber before soil release properties could be achieved the invention may be further understood by reference to the following examples but the invention is not to be construed as being unduly limited thereby the following example demonstrates the washability and moisture.
