Combined processes Polyester/cotton

In the textile industry, yam spinning was one of the very first processes to be industrialized. Spun yams may contain a single type of fiber or a blend of various types. Combining synthetic fibers (which can have high strength, luster, and fire-retardant qualities) with natural fibers (which have good water absorbency and skin-comforting qualities) is very common. The most widely used blends are cotton-polyester and wool-acrylic fibers. Blends of different natural fibers are common too, especially with more expensive fibers such as cashmere. Yams are selected for different textile products based on the characteristics of the constituent fibers, such as wool for warmth, nylon for durability, cashmere for softness, etc. [Pg.44]
