Blended and mixed fibres
- What is a blended fibre?
- A combination of two or more
fibres spun together.
- Most common example
is cotton polyester blend
- Cotton is cool, soft, strong and comfortable
- Polyester is hard wearing, lightweight, poor absorber and elastic
- By combining these two into one
fabric it gives the comfort and cool
feel of cotton but there is the
hard-wearing, quick-drying and
crease-resisting properties due to
polyester.

- Many regenerated fibres are blended with synthetic fibres
as they can be manufactured to an exact specification or
a particular purpose.

- What is a mixed fibre?
- A mixed fibre is where one type of yarn is mixed with
at least one other in the fabric production.
