This article explores the mechanical properties of yarns made from a mixture of synthetic and cotton yarns. The yarn test results were analyzed and it was found that the mechanical properties of the blended fibers, including Lycra and polyester yarns, were better. Therefore, it is advisable to use these yarns for the production of highly elastic knitted fabrics. The materials and knitted fabrics were analyzed to have high elasticity, softness and high mechanical properties compared to other yarns.
