Cotton, Polyester and viscose are used in combination to make blended fabrics which have the added benefit of silkiness and drape of viscose in addition to the properties of cotton and polyester.
Blended fabrics are created by mixing two or more different kinds of fibres to create a new fabric with unique properties.
Polyster and cotton : It combines the properties of natural and synthetic fibres and is one of the most common blended fabrics.
Elastane (spandex) and cotton : Elastane which is stretchy and durable is mixed with cotton.
Wool and polyster : Wool is warm and polyster adds strength to the fabric.
Linen and silk : Linen creases easily but silk does not. So when they are mixed together the garment does not crease easily.
Cotton, polyster, and viscose : Viscose is semi synthetic, it is derived from bamboo. So this type of fabric has the benefits of polyster and cotton with the added silkiness and drape of viscose.
