Abstract

Blending different types of fibers is a widely practiced means of enhancing the performance and the aesthetic qualities of a fabric. Blended yarns from natural and man-made fibers have the particular advantage of successfully combining the good properties of both fiber components, such as comfort of wear with easy care properties. These advantages also permit an increased variety of  products to be made, and yield a stronger marketing advantage.
The present study was conducted to determine the impact of polyester/cotton technique and ratio on the yarn structure and quality properties of spun yarns by using Giza 90 Egyptian cotton variety and Indian polyester. The processing was carried out at Al-Amria spinning and weaving company-Alexandria. The quality characters depend upon the ratio of polyester and cotton in the blend and also on the blending techniques, i.e., intimate blending and draw-frame blending. The quality characters such as single yarn strength, yarn elongation, were directly proportional to the ratio of polyester with cotton in the blend. Intimate blending or blow-room produced better quality yarn as compared to draw-frame blending.
