        abstract = {This research explores the feasibility of combining Ipomoea nil fibres with conventional natural fibres, i.e., Gossypium herbaceums and Cannabis Sativa, to form a new green woven textile. The investigation aims to elucidate the mechanical characteristics, durability, and eco-friendliness of the material and explore its biochemical properties. Using an optimized blend ratio, the fibre was subjected to a controlled weaving process, after which it underwent intensive mechanical and environmental testing. Characterization methods, such as tensile strength testing and biodegradability assays, were used to assess the structural integrity of the fabric and decomposition kinetics under simulated environmental conditions. Results indicate that the incorporation of Ipomoea nil enhances the air permeability, moisture-wicking, and tensile strength of the resultant fabric. Furthermore, due to the presence of bioactive compounds, the fibre is intrinsically antibacterial and anti-inflammatory in nature, which could be applied in skin-friendly and antimicrobial textiles and the findings verify that the addition of Ipomoea nil enhances the air permeability, water wicking behaviour, and tensile strength of the resulting fabric. Additionally, because the fibre is of bioactive nature with the addition of bioactive agents, the fibre is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory in nature, which can be used for skin-friendly and antimicrobial clothing. With these properties, the yarn created here has significant potential for home textile application, particularly bedding, upholstery, and curtains, where durability, antimicrobial function, and airiness are all in high demand. Secondly, the inherent moisture management capability of the yarn makes it well placed for temperature-sensitive textiles, further improving home thermal comfort. Its antibacterial property reduces microbial growth opportunities, making the material well placed for hygienic furniture and hypoallergenic bedclothing. Its biodegradable nature also makes it suitable for eco-home applications with the new transition to the eco-home textile. Secondly, aside from that, its inherent wear-resistance and longevity enable its wide application in heavy-wear applications such as sofa cover, cushion fabric, and curtain. With the inclusion of Ipomoea nil into textile production, this study offers the key to new-generation, sustainable, and performance-oriented home textiles that harmonize performance and sustainability.},
