Enhancing the dependence of blended jute yarn rather than hundred percent cotton yarn

Blending is a mixing process where two or more different fibers are combined into the desired percentage. In a yarn spinning system, different compositions, lengths, diameters, or colors may be mixed to create a blended yarn. In this system, various lots of fibers are combined into a homogeneous mass before being spun into a staple fiber yarn. Usually, jute and cotton fiber are blended together to make jute-cotton blended yarn. The diversified use of jute is one way to blend yarn. A 30%: 40%: 30% ratio was used for making the jute-cotton-viscose blended yarn. A rotor frame in a cotton spinning line produced the jute-cotton-viscose blended yarn and 100% cotton yarn. The physical properties like count, yarn Lea strength, and CSP were measured for both jute-cotton-viscose blended yarn and 100% cotton yarn. Among them, the average count of jute-cotton-viscose blended yarn and 100% cotton yarn are found approximately the same, i.e., 6.0 and 5.89, respectively. However, the yarn lea strength and CSP of both samples are 318.6 lb, 208 lb, and 1876, 1246, respectively, for 100% cotton yarn and jute-cotton-viscose blended yarn, which are far different from each other. There is the consistency of CV%, SD, and PMD of the blended yarn as well as 100 % yarn. In this study, viscose was first introduced for the blending process with jute and cotton to produce a jute-cotton-viscose blended yarn, and the physical properties were compared with both yarns
