Technical fibers and filaments, which have low extensibility and high tenacity, can be used along with jute in heterogeneous blends for making jute-based yarns as jute fibre contributes positively in the physical properties of the yarn but at a much lower cost. Jute is one of the world’s most important fibers, being exceeded in quantity only by cotton. It is highly modulus, moderately strong, lustrous and naturally biodegradable fibre. The present study investigated the spinning performance for rotating ratios of jute/cotton, jute/viscose and jute/polyester blends to improve the tensile behaviour of composite structures for new diverse uses of cottonised jute blended yarns, fabricated at ring, rotor and air jet spinning systems
