Feeding method of a carding machine in order to obtain a blended yarn, yarn and fabric obtain with it

A method of loading a carding machine comprising:

• deriving a component load schedule comprising a plurality of discrete loading steps, wherein each of said discrete loading steps comprises at least a first load amount and a second load amount, and wherein the sum of the first load amount and the second load amount is a first overall load amount;
• loading a first amount of a first component equal to the first load amount of a discrete loading step;
• loading a second amount of a second component equal to the second load amount of the discrete loading step;
• repeating the steps of loading a first amount and loading a second amount for each of the plurality of discrete loading steps;
• and
• wherein the first load amount is varied in accordance with a pre-defined function between at least two discrete loading steps in the plurality of discrete loading steps.
