cotton blend

Part-natural textile composite

A cotton blend is fabric made from cotton mixed with other fibers—typically polyester, spandex, or rayon.

The blend combines cotton's breathability and softness with qualities like stretch, durability, or wrinkle resistance: This shirt is a cotton blend, so it won't shrink as much.

Clothing labels often specify the ratio: 60/40 cotton-poly blend.
