Blended Yarns

There are many reasons to blend different fibers to create yarn. Some blends are for a different feel, or increased strength, or color variation, or durability, or whatever. Here are some interesting mostly natural fiber blends. There is a page for mostly cotton blends (>50% cotton) and one for mostly wool blends (>50% wool).
