  Linen-Modal and Linen-Tencel blended yarn
  
  
  
  In cooperation with Lenzing AG we developed  new blends  like 33 % Modal – 67 % linen and  33 % Tencel – 67 % linen  weaving  yarns.  Tencel blends use A-100 fiber
  
  These blended yarns are  produced on tradiotional ring spinning system,  wet spun,
  
  -    raw,
  
  -    pre- bleached on rove
  
  -    pre –boiled on rove.
  
  Following samples are avaible:
  
  
  
  33 % Tencel 67 % Linen – Bleached and boiled, yarn count:

  
  

  Nm 20    2F  - boiled      
  
  Nm 24    2F  - boiled       
  
  Nm 33    2F  - boiled      
  
  Nm 20    F3 – bleached      
  
  Nm 24    F3 – bleached       
  
  Nm 33    F3 – bleached     
  
  
  
   33 % Modal 67 % Linen – Bleached and boiled, yarn count:

  Nm 9,6          
  
  Nm 10         
  
  
  
  The Modal or Tencel blended yarns comparing with 100 % linen have a softer touch,  shiny,  less irregulaty, the number of thin and thick places and neps decreased..
  
  Elongation of 100 % linen yarn is under 2 %,  the blends have a higher elongation, a better weaving performance expected.
  
  Tencel recomended for fabrics,  keeping linen natural color   and linen charakter,   Modal recomended for bleached or dyed fabric, mercerized finish.
