The textile industry is looking for sustainable, fully cellulosic fibres to cut back on synthetics. This study investigates the development of a hybrid yarn using Calotropis gigantea (Giant Milkweed) blended with Viscose at a 10s count. Using Single Yarn Strength Testing (ASTM D2256) and SEM analysis, three yarn types were compared: 100% Viscose, 70:30 Viscose/Milkweed, and 60:40 Viscose/Milkweed. Results indicate that while the hollow-core milkweed fibre alters tensile strength and tenacity, the 60:40 blend achieves the best balance in mechanical properties. This study establishes a starting point for utilizing Calotropis gigantea in sustainable yarn applications.
