Abstract
A unique blend of fibers used to create a yarn or fabric useful in protective garments including a lyocell fiber, and a flame resistant fiber that is not a modacrylic and/or does not require the emission of gases and/or acids for flame resistance. The lyocell fiber is approximately 5% to 55% of the blend, and the flame resistant fiber is approximately 45% to 95% of the blend. The resulting fabric requires no post treatment for flame resistance.
