The present invention aims at providing a blended yarn with which a knitted or woven body, wherein a decrease in tension and stiffness due to moistness is reduced, can be manufactured, even in a case where the blended yarn is used for the manufacture of the knitted or woven body; a knitted or woven body of the same; and a method for manufacturing the knitted or woven body. The blended yarn according to the present invention comprises a modified fibroin fiber and a regenerated cellulose fiber.

A chemical formulation for imparting a textile with durable wicking, softening and antistatic properties comprising an amphoteric or betaine surfactant, and an alkoxysilane. A method of treating the textile with the chemical formulation as well as the treated textile and the articles made therefrom are provided.

A high performance fabric comprised of a plurality of high-performance fibers coated with an anti-microbial compound and an anti-stain compound, where the high-performance fibers are polyester microfibers for comfort. The anti-microbial compound is a wash resistant non-organic antibacterial or a non-organic microbicidal. The anti-stain compound is hydrophobic or superhydrophobic, preferably polytetrafluoroethylene or silicone. Optionally, additional flame resistant fibers are interwoven with the high-performance fibers to increase flame resistance.
