yarn is twisted, heated, and the untwisted to form a helical coil. Resembles crepe.

Knife Edge/Edge Crimping

Heated filaments are drawn over an edge, which flattens one side of the filaments and causes the yarn to curl

filament yarns are pushed into one end of a small heated box until they bend. when the emerge from the other end of the box, they are in crimp form.

a sawtooth crimp is created when yarn passes through the teeth of two heated gears. Seldom used.

High-velocity air or steam is used to distort some of the fibers in a yarn so that they loop or curl

the yarn is knitted into a thin tube, heat set, and unraveled. The unraveled yarn will retain the looped shape formed by the knitting
