cotton blends

Poly-plant fiber mix

Cotton blends are fabrics that combine cotton with other fibers—typically polyester, spandex, or rayon.

The blend aims to preserve cotton's softness and breathability while adding durability, stretch, or wrinkle resistance: This shirt is a cotton-poly blend.

Clothing labels specify the ratio: 60% cotton, 40% polyester.
