Blends and Why They Exist
You see why fibres are mixed, what a ratio actually buys, and where blends go wrong. You cost four constructions to FOB, trace a dye failure back to a yarn that was plied rather than intimate, and look at a declared 95/5 that tested 92/8 at a border.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can read a yarn specification and say what it will do in the finished garment: hand, strength, pilling, shrinkage, and price. And you can challenge a fibre choice or a count on a tech pack before it reaches a cost sheet.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You reach a blend decision you can defend commercially. You cost candidate constructions line by line to an FOB per piece. You write the fibre architecture into the tech pack in the one word that stops a substitution. And you check the composition claim against the manufacturing tolerance, the test method, and the tariff line before a label is printed.
