Abstract: The growing importance of fiber blends in apparels are due to many reasons such as it will be cost effective by blending them with other fibers that produce fabrics with a better combination of performance characteristics in the product. The aim of the blends are reduce economic and enhanced the durability, physical properties, colour and appearance. To produce fabrics with a better combination of performance characteristics in the product and to obtain beter hand on fabric appearance and colour dyed effect Hence the present work has been undertaken with an aim to blend the Hibiscus Cannabinus with Ramie for value added products. Different blending ratios were followed such as Kenaf: Ramie 75:25, 50:50 and 25:75 to produce different blended yarns as well as fabrics. Ramie yarn showed highest tenacity (20.87g/tex) while lowest tenacity was observed in controlled Kenaf (13.09g/tex). In case of blended yarn, maximum tenacity was seen in (25:75) kenaf: ramie (16.18g/tex).Plain weave structure fabrics was prepared from the controlled and blended yarns.
