Blended

Blend Fiber:

Blending of various types of textile fibers and must be two or more is of crucial significance to the contemporary textile industry. The yarns and fabrics produced by blending display a range of expected properties that otherwise could not be obtained by a single textile fibers or fabrics.
The demands of blend fibers are increasing dramatically in technical and commercial industry. In textile production; the demand of blend fiber also increased in order to achieve high quality and reproducible results to the textile dyers and colorists.
Fiber blends means: adding two or more type of fibers in one. Suppose; if you mix polyester fiber with cotton fiber by any ration, then it’s called fiber blending. The result of the blended fibers is a single yarn.

Some Reasons for Blending of Fibers:

1. To facilitate Textile processing.
2. To improve fiber properties lie Abrasion Resistance, Fiber Strength, Absorbency and comfort, Add bulk and warmth, Hand, Dimensional Stability, Resistance to Wrinkling, Permanent pleats or creases.

3. To produce multicolored fabrics. Yes! You can produce multicolored fabrics by blending with different colored fibers and yarn. If you use different colored fibers then different colored yarn will be produced. And use these yarn to produced multicolored fabric.
4. To reduce fibre and fabric cost. It is seen that, the price of cotton fiber is comparatively costly than polyester. So, if you blend cotton fiber with polyester then the ultimate cost of these yarns will be lower. So, blend fiber reduce cost.
5. Sometimes blending on fiber is done to increase the cost of finished product. Silk is very valuable fiber. If you add a low portion of silk  fiber with cotton; then the fiber value will be increased.

Actually, blending demand has drastically been increased. Now blending thing is done everywhere.
