Fire retardant and heat resistant yarns, fabrics, and other fibrous blends incorporate one or more fire retardant and heat resistant strands comprising oxidized polyacrylonitrile and one or more strengthening filaments such as metallic filaments (e.g., stainless steel) , high strength ceramic filaments, or high strength polymer filaments. Such yarns, fabrics, and other fibrous blends have a superior tensile strength, cut resistance, abrasion resistance, LOI, TPP and continuous operating temperature compared to conventional fire retardant fabrics. The yarns, fabrics, and other fibrous blends are also more soft, supple, breathable and moisture absorbent and are therefore more comfortable to wear, compared to conventional fire retardant fabrics. The inventive yarns may be woven, knitted or otherwise assembled into a desired fabric or other article of manufacture.
