Taslanizing or taslanising is a process for making air-textured yarns.
The process is simply feeding a bundle of continuous filament yarns into a small jet nozzle with various amounts of slack (overfeed).
High-pressure air ( > 100 PSI ) creates suction and a turbulent airstream which tangles any slack into a yarn with a similar hand as a spun yarn.
It is the turbulent airflow that tangles the fibers.
[citation needed] Taslan is also a name for yarn made using this process.
