description The main objective of this study is to examine the tensile properties of a sustainable woven fabric made of cotton-tencel siro-spun yarn, which is widely used in the apparel industry. Tencel fibers incorporate several excellent sustainability features into their manufacturing process, such as recycling water and chemicals to reduce waste and extracting the trees to sustainably harvested forests. Similarly, cotton is durable, recyclable, and biodegradable, making it an excellent choice as an eco-friendly fabric throughout its product life. 3.8, 4.0, and 4.2 twist multiplier yarns were used in this experiment. The rotational multiplier is a factor that determines how many times the yarn is spun during the spinning process. This refers to yarn strength used in weaving or knitting, as well as the appearance of the finished fabric. All fabrics were made in plain, twill, and satin weaves with warp densities of 100, 95, and 90 ends/inch and weft densities of 60, 55, and 50 picks/inch, respectively. To determine the tensile strength of woven fabric made from 50/50 cotton – tencel siro yarn, elongation at maximum force and force at rupture tests were performed in the greige state as well as after desizing, scouring, and bleaching. The twist multiplier and woven structure were revealed to be largely responsible for the strength of woven fabrics in greige as well as after desizing, scouring, and bleaching. A comparison has made to investigate the rupture force and elongation of proposed technique with ring spun yarn fabrics. In reality, this work demonstrated comprehensive information about the woven fabric properties of 50/50 cotton – tencel siro yarn, which could be useful in understanding their mechanical behavior.
