	abstract = {In this study, wool/aramid blended yarns, as well as viscose FR yarns, were used to produce flame-retardant woven
fabrics. Many fire retardancy standards also include tear strength, abrasion resistance, tensile strength and dimensional
change of the fabrics during fire hazards. Therefore, these tests were included to study the fire retardant performances
of the fabrics produced with 100\% wool/aramid blended fibres and viscose FR fibres in the warp and wool/aramid
blended fibres in the weft direction. As a result of the study, no statistically significant differences were found in the
mechanical properties of the fabrics. In contrast, the thermal protective performance of the fabrics produced with
wool/aramid blended yarns was better than the ones produced with viscose FR warp yarns. On the other hand, the
vertical flame-retardant performance of fabrics produced with viscose FR yarns was better than those produced with
wool/aramid blended yarns in both directions. As a result of the study, it was found that the use of viscose FR fibre, which
is a more accessible and comfortable alternative to the wool/aramid blend, in the warp or weft direction will minimize
fabric costs while providing similar flame-retardant performance without losing fabric mechanical properties.},
