The goal of the study is to investigate the ideal mix ratio for yarn spinning in the production of industrial textiles, taking into account the physical properties of water-hyacinth-based fabric and yarn. Cotton, polyester, and water hyacinth had a weft yarn mix ratio of 20:25:55. The completed piece demonstrates the unique dark colour and fibre properties of the Water Hyacinth yarn. There are two distinct construction types in the cloth. In plain weaving, ply yarn is used to create the woven structure by reinforcing the weft strand structure. The unique twill fabric was developed to take the place of several natural fabric types that are now available on the market. The warp-to-weft thread ratio is tightly displayed.
