FIGS. 1A and 1B show a blendedyarn 105 used to weave a repeatable section of a denim basedfabric 101 in a plain weave pattern. Denim is a fabric that is made out of a cotton fiber. The cotton fiber is a product of a cotton plant. The cotton fiber is made out of almost pure cellulose. As such, the cotton fiber is used in natural fabric production. A natural fabric, such as denim, is produced from strings of the cotton fiber. Denim and other natural fabrics (made from the cotton fiber) are soft and breathable. - However, cotton based fabrics (such as denim) are usually heavy because of the cotton fiber's density. The cotton fiber has a density of approximately 1.55 g/cm3. As such, denim based clothing are comfortable to wear but are heavier than synthetic alternatives. Heavy weight associated with denim clothing may be overcome by producing a denim based fabric woven from strings of a blended
yarn 105 The blendedyarn 105 may include apolypropylene fiber 107 and cotton fiber(s) (109) interlaced together. Interlacing pattern(s) and number(s) of the polypropylene and cotton fibers (107 and 109) may be varied to produce the blendedyarn 105. Furthermore, the blendedyarn 105 may be weaved to produce the denim basedfabric 101 that is lighter than a pure cotton based denim. The denim basedfabric 101 may maintain the natural properties of the pure cotton based denim while having a lowered weight compared to the pure cotton based denim. -
Polypropylene fiber 107 has a density of approximately 0.90 g/cm3. The blendedyarn 105 may weigh less than a pure cotton yarn. As such, the blendedyarn 105 may allow the denim basedfabric 101 to preserve natural properties of the pure cotton based denim fabric (such as breathability and softness) while weighing less than the pure cotton based denim. - The
polypropylene fiber 107 may make up a range from 15% to 50% of a weight of the blendedyarn 105. Thecotton fiber 109 may make up a range from 85% to 50% of the weight of the blendedyarn 105. In a preferred embodiment, thepolypropylene fiber 107 may make up 30% of the weight of the blendedyarn 105. Thecotton fiber 109 may make up 70% of the weight of the blendedfiber 105. - The
polypropylene fiber 107 may include a hollow fiber. A tube based shape may allow thepolypropylene fiber 107 to have a low density, a high strength, and/or a high flexibility, among other properties. Additionally, the blendedyarn 105 of the polypropylene and cotton fibers (107 and 109) may be dyed with a coloring solution. A choice of the coloring solution may be depended on use and demand scenarios associated with the denim basedfabric 101. Furthermore, a weight of the denim basedfabric 101 may be between 6 oz. to about 15 oz. per square yard. - In an example scenario, strings of the blended
yarn 105 may be woven in aplain weave pattern 103 to produce the repeatable section of the denim basedfabric 101. The repeatable section may be produced by placing a firsthorizontal string 102 of the blendedyarn 105 below a firstvertical string 104 of the blendedyarn 105 and above a secondvertical string 106 of the blendedyarn 105. A secondhorizontal string 108 of the blendedyarn 105 may be placed above the firstvertical string 104 below the secondvertical string 106 to form the repeatable section. - The placement of the vertical strings (104 and 106) is from right to left, starting with the first
vertical string 104 on the right and ending with the secondvertical string 106 on the left. The placement of the horizontal threads (102 and 108) is from top to bottom, starting with the firsthorizontal string 102 at the top and ending with the secondhorizontal string 108 at the bottom. Alternatively, the direction of the vertical and horizontal strings (104, 106, 102, and 108) may be reversed to produce a mirror image pattern of theplain weave pattern 103. Alternative orders and locations may also be used to weave the vertical and horizontal strings (104, 106, 102, and 108) into the repeatable section in theplain weave pattern 103. - In an alternative embodiment, the blended
yarn 105 may include an interlacing of the cotton fiber and other fibers. The other fibers may include spandex and polypropylene fibers. Inclusion of the spandex fiber may produce the denim basedfabric 101 that is stretchable. In a preferred embodiment the blend of the polypropylene and spandex fibers may make up 30% of the weight of the blendedyarn 105. Thecotton fiber 109 may make up 70% of the weight of the blendedyarn 105. - In yet another alternative embodiment, the blended
yarn 105 may include an interlacing of the cotton fiber and other fibers. The other fibers may include polyester and polypropylene fibers. In a preferred embodiment the blend of the polypropylene and polyester fibers may make up 30% of the weight of the blendedyarn 105. Thecotton fiber 109 may make up 70% of the weight of the blendedyarn 105. -
