Many yarns that combine different fibres are used in manufacturing modern fabrics. Each type of fibre brings a different quality to the overall responsiveness of the yarn. Hence, for example, a small amount of a stretch fibre will add elasticity to a natural fibre, while a small amount of a water repellant fibre will introduce some impermeability into the blended fibre. There are so many blends today, it is hard to find a systematic way of categorizing them. We do so based on the properties that the blend seeks to achieve :

• Colorfast blends
• Eco-friendly blends
• Hemp/silk blend
  
• Impermeable blends
• Lustre blends
• Cotton/silk blend
  
• Non-shrink blends
• Viyella
  
• Perspiration-tolerant blends
  
• Resistant blends
  
• Stretch blends
• Waterproof
• PVC
• Imperial PVC
  
• Other blends
• Alepine - wool/silk or mohair/cotton blends
• Arrasene - embroidered fabric of a wool/silk blend
