This paper is concerned with the method of producing a novel silk/cotton composite yarn with improved tensile properties. This “double-core” twin spun yarn is made by inserting raw silk continuous filament core yarns in both spun silk and cotton strands. The tensile and compression properties of a few other yarns with different structures and the crease recovery properties of the fabrics are discussed.
