The outcome of different experimental conditions on the comfort behavior of milkweed/lyocell blended fabrics has been studied. The results show the influence of experimental factors viz fibre cross-sectional shape; blend ratios, yarn spinning technique, yarn structure, and fabric sett have a large effect on comfort properties of the blended fabrics. Keeping in view the importance, utility and availability of milkweed floss, in the present study an attempt has been made to prepare pure lyocell and milkweed/lyocell blended fabrics in proportions of 70: 30, 50: 50 and 30: 70 to explore its comfort aspects for conventional textiles. The effect of blend ratio on the comfort characteristics was assessed with the help of ANOVA analysis.
