Blended fibers

Blending fibers, whether natural with engineered or within the same category, can offer tailored fabric properties such as stretch, strength, and ease of maintenance. This approach can often better shape the fabric’s functionality, look, and feel.

Two-fiber Blends

Often considered the simplest form of fiber blending, two-fiber blends offers combining properties of two distinct fibers. This is useful in cases where you want to add strength, durability and make the fabric easy to care for, while maintaining comfort and breathability.

  • Polyester + Cotton
  • Linen + Viscose
  • Lyocell + Spandex

Commonly used in:

Button-Down Shirts

Hospitality Uniforms

Medical Scrubs

Three-fiber Blends

Adding an additional fiber to the mix, you can further enhance a fabric’s properties. You can choose to combine a natural handfeel, with strength and elasticity from engineered fibers.

  • Cotton + Polyester + Spandex
  • Lyocell + Nylon + Spandex
  • Hemp + Polyester + Cotton

Commonly used in:

Outdoor Trousers

Palazzo Pants

School Uniforms

Four-fiber Blends

Multi-fiber blends offer enhanced versatility by combining properties such as stretch, strength, durability, moisture management, and comfort. The beauty of these blends lies in their ability to adjust handfeel and texture—for example, blending hemp or linen with lyocell, cotton, and spandex offsets stiffness, creating a softer feel and improved drape for specific applications.

  • Lyocell + Cotton + Hemp + Spandex
  • Cotton + Polyester + Bamboo + Spandex
  • Cotton + Nylon + Linen + Spandex

Commonly used in:

Wide Leg Pants

Shirt Dresses

Hawaiian Print Shirts
