Blended fibres are textile materials created by combining several types of fibres—most commonly natural fibres (such as cotton or wool) with artificial or synthetic fibres (such as polyester, viscose, or polyamide). The development of blended fibres expanded significantly during the 20th century, when the advantages of traditional natural fibres and newly developed chemical fibres were combined. The aim was to create materials with improved properties, including greater durability, elasticity, colour fastness, and easier maintenance. The processing of blended fibres involves mixing the fibres during spinning before weaving or knitting, or bonding fibre layers in the production of nonwoven textiles. Manufacturers typically use blended yarns (for example, polycotton), adjusting the ratio of the individual fibres according to the desired characteristics of the final product. In the textile industry, blended fibres are widely used in clothing and home textiles because they improve comfort, hygiene, durability, and ease of care. Common applications include shirts, sports knitwear, workwear, and bed linen. Blended fibres are also important in technical textiles and innovative smart textiles, where they enable the combination of functional performance with aesthetic and design properties.
