Articles of category "Fiber blends"

The process of blending of different fibers into a single fabric is made to improve quality of this fabric and give it the desired properties. But long fibers cannot be used in that process, so they are being cut into smaller staple fibers and only after that they are blended into fabric. Some natural materials in their turn can be blended right away and do not need to be cut into smaller pieces.

There can be many different purposes of blending, but in most cases blending of different fibers is oriented on getting higher quality of fabrics. Mixing different sorts of fibers leads to better fabric characteristics that can be obtained. But not all sorts of fibers can be blended together, because different qualities of various materials are possible to reach only in certain combinations.
