Strength, elongation, and uniformity are just a few of the mechanical qualities of yarns that can be greatly enhanced by blending several fibers. With an emphasis on cotton/polyester blends, this study investigates how fiber blending affects yarn performance. The study assesses the variations in yarn strength and other physical characteristics by altering the blending ratio and yarn structure (stiff, core-spun, and dual-core-spun). The findings show that while decreasing unevenness and flaws, raising the polyester blend ratio improves yarn strength and elongation. Because of their increased elasticity, core-spun and dual-core-spun yarns are appropriate for uses that call for both strength and flexibility.
