Studies on jute based ternary blended yarns

217-223Two types of jute based blended yarns have been developed from jute-polypropylene-hollow polyester and jute- shrinkable acrylic-hollow polyester in the conventional jute spinning system. Such ternary blended yarn can be used successfully to produce home textiles. Jute-shrinkable acrylic-hollow polyester have been blended in 50:30:20 proportion to produce bulk yarn for warm garments. Similarly, jute-polypropylene-hollow polyester blended yarn in 50:25:25 proportion can be used in cushion cloth, mattress cloth, table cloth, bed sheet, etc. Such blending not only gives better yarn but also produces more regular yarn. The fabric out of this yarn in weft is cheaper, heavier and more rigid in weft direction compared to commercial sample. The developed fabric is dimensionally and quality wise stable in washing
