The process includes steps for using raw yarn; dying the yarn; drying the dyed yarn by heating it; using the yarn in an appropriate loom machine such as a Jaquard loom or a needle loom to form concentrically-tubed shoe lace stock having a ridge on its outer tube; cutting the stock into desired shoe lace lengths; tipping the ends of the shoe lace lengths; inspecting the shoe laces; and placing the acceptable shoe laces in one area and the rejected shoe laces in another area. The objective of using the process is shown as variations of special shoe laces.
