A method of forming a twisted yarn, the method comprising:
- twisting an organic thread comprised of organic staple fibers having a length of approximately 70 mm to 150 mm to have approximately 4 to 14 twists per inch;
- twisting a synthetic thread comprised of synthetic fibers having a length ranging from approximately 28 mm to 132 mm to have approximately 6 to 16 twists per inch;
- and
- twisting the organic thread and the synthetic thread together at an angle of approximately 15 to 65 degrees to form a twisted yarn, wherein the twisted yarn has approximately 20 to 35 twists per inch and a surface area with approximately a 50:50 ratio of organic staple fibers and synthetic fibers.
