Abstract

Soya Protein Fiber (SPF) is the only protein fiber made from soybean cake. Their
physical properties are similar to that of synthetic fiber.
Properties like smoothness/luster/comfort/absorbency/strength/shrinkage shows
tremendous range when blended with other fibers. Recent studies shows that when soybean fibers
blended with cashmere, it gives smooth quality with an enhancement of easy care properties. As a
wool/soy protein fiber, it reduces shrinkage and increases ease of care. As a silk blend, it improves
the properties of silk with the prevention of the fabric from sticking to the skin when wet. In this
study soya cotton blended fabric is dyed with Indian madder with lime bark as a mordant which is
a extract of a plant. A comparative study between dyed and undyed soya cotton blended fabric is
tested and evaluated as per Drapablity, Abrasion resistance, Sinking test, Capillary rise and
shrinkage.
