Greige cotton fibers and recycled polyester waste fibers were used to produce low-cost, nonwoven blanket materials that were comfortable, provided thermal insulation, and maintained an acceptable appearance through short-term laundering. Waste polyester remnants are available through a recently developed commercial process. Greige cotton, rather than scoured and bleached, was chosen to blend with the short reprocessed polyester because it is environmentally acceptable, and the longer fibers provide strength and stability. Various blend ratios were examined. Chemical finishes were applied to the fabrics to enhance properties, and physical and thermal properties of the fabrics were measured.
