Influence of yarn parameters on cotton/kenaf blended yarn characteristics [PDF]
, 2020 Spinning kenaf fibers into yarns is challenging due to the stiffness and lack of cohesiveness of the fibers. Alkali treatment is known to remove hemicellulose, wax, and breaks down lignin, reducing stiffness of kenaf fiber and improving its spinnability.
