The blending of different fibers is done for the manufacturing of yarn to ensure the presence of multiple properties in the resultant yarn which is impossible if we use only one type of fiber. Tencel is regenerated cellulosic fiber & flax is natural bast fiber. Tencel shows more versatility than flax. Tencel has a softer feel with a variety of end uses. Tencel is wrinkle-prone and stiff. Tencel shows extreme strength even in wet conditions and at the same time, it is more durable than linen. The most important fact is that the heat dissipation property of flax is 5 times higher than wool & 19 times higher than silk. Linen clothing can lower the body temperature by 3 to 4 degree celsius in hot weather than clothing made of wool and silk. A yarn made of both Tencel & linen (50:50) will contain the properties of both fibers. At the same time, we can make this yarn more aesthetic by incorporating a slub.

Influence of enzyme wash on the physio-mechanical properties of indigo dyed denim garments:

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of industrial enzyme silicone wash combined with silicone wash. For this study currently fashionable regular Indigo Dyed denim (100% cotton with twill 3/1 weave construction) trouser was chosen. The selected Indigo Dyed denim trouser has been processed by enzyme and then silicone wash. In order to evaluate the washing effects on Indigo Dyed denim trouser, changes of fabric handle, fabric specification (ends/inch, picks/inch, surface density, warp & weft yarn linear density…………………), fabric strength has been determined during and after washing
