%X This work reports the successful outcomes to process the polyester, acrylic and wool fiber along
with jute fiber exclusively using existing jute processing machineries for manufacturing the 241
tex jute blended yarn. The blending was performed at feeding stage of breaker carding machine
and blending ratio of jute and polyester/acrylic/wool fibers is 80:20. Manufacturing of jute
blended yarns will create a new opportunity for extending the uses of jute fibers in value added
jute products. The present work is concerned with the investigation of physical properties such as
tenacity, elongation % at break, quality ratio, unevenness, imperfections (thick, thin & neps) and
hairiness of manufactured jute blended yarns. The jute-polyester (80/20) blended yarn shows the
higher strength and more evenness compared to jute-acrylic (80/20), jute-wool (80/20) blended
and 100% jute yarn.
