The invention provides for a method of manufacturing artificial turf (1400). The method comprises the step of creating (100) a polymer mixture (400, 500, 600), wherein the polymer mixture comprises a stabilizing polymer (402), a bulk polymer (404), a flame retardant polymer combination, and a compatibilizer (406). The stabilizing polymer polymer and the bulk polymer are immiscible. The stabilizing polymer comprises fibers surrounded by the compatibilizer within the bulk polymer. The stabilizing polymer is aramid. The flame retardant polymer combination is a mixture of triazin and melamine. The method further comprises the step of extruding (102) the polymer mixture into a monofilament (706). The method further comprises the step of quenching (104) the monofilament. The method further comprises the step of reheating (106) the monofilament. The method further comprises the step of stretching (108) the reheated monofilament (706') to align the fibers relative to each other and to form the monofilament into an artificial turf fiber.The method further comprises the step of incorporating (110) the artificial turf fiber into an artificial turf backing (1406).
