Abstract :In recent years, considering production technologies and consumption habits in textiles, the issue of recycling textile waste has attracted great attention from the researchers. Textile waste have been re-used as raw materials during the production processes to maintain the benign effects for economical and ecological sides. In this study, determined performance features of woven blankets including recycled yarns are investigated in terms of different production parameters. In the production of blankets, the yarns used in the weft direction consist of 35%/35%/30% acrylic/cotton/polyester recycling fibers. The warp yarn consists of 70%/30% acrylic/cotton and contains a total of 85% recycled fiber. In the study, the blankets were produced in 3 different weft density: plain and twill weave. In order to investigate the effect of the raising process, samples were prepared as raised and non-raised. The air permeability, tensile strength and elongation and bending rigidity performances of the blankets are determined by standard test methods and the results are statistically evaluated. As a result of the evaluations, it was observed that these examined properties were affected by the fabric parameters in different ways. Considering the results, recycled fibers have become prominent in textile production processes where they provide the target durability by determining the appropriate usage areas.
