    DOCUMENTATION OF TRADITIONAL PARANDA AND NAALA IN THE MALWA REGION OF PUNJAB
    (PAU Ludhiana, 2011) Arsh Jyot Kaur; Kanwaljit Kaur, Brar
    The present study was undertaken to document traditional paranda, a hair accessory and naala, a woven tape for lower garment used by the rural women in the Malwa region of Punjab. Three surveys conducted from samples of 180 rural women who had worn parandas or woven naalas and 30 shopkeepers selling these products selected randomly from Ludhiana, Patiala and Bathinda districts of Malwa region, indicated a sharp decline in the practice of invaluable traditional crafts of paranda and naala in these regions. None of the respondents in a wide range of age (25-95 yrs) was found to be weaving naalas during these days. Besides, only 48.89 per cent respondents were wearing parandas. Arbi gatth and jalebi were named after the knots used in tassels; sheeshe wala, jhumki zari, gatta ghungroo and moti parandas were named after the embellishments used in tassels. Paranda making techniques were known to only 4.45 per cent respondents. The craft of dori making for paranda was mainly practised by female artisans who were paid only `25-50 per dozen doris, while male artisans were paid `150 for preparing tassels of 40 doris in Patiala city, a hub of cultural handicrafts. Regular naalas for salwars were made by using both loom and finger weaving techniques. Fancy naalas for ghagras were made by loom weaving technique only. Cotton, tussar or acrylic fibres were used for both type of naalas. Warping was done on peerhi, nails or adda and loom weaving was done by using adda or manja. No equipment was used for finger weaving. Round and square harrarh were most popular amongst others such as double square, jalebi, gol gand, karela and spring harrarh. Motifs like dabbiyaan and murabbebandi in loom woven naalas, and gutt, burfi, and machhi motif in finger woven naalas were made by all the respondents. The shopkeepers were selling both remix and machine made (tape and battiyaan wale) naalas in Ludhiana, Patiala and Bathinda city. One remix naala took 36 times lesser work hours for finishing it in comparison to hand woven naala. Changes in lifestyle, fashion trends, lack of time and women education were identified as the major factors responsible for not making parandas these days. Diversification of the crafts, publication of design books, preservation of the craft in museum, publicising the crafts through exhibitions and other media, inclusion of these crafts in the school curriculum, organisation of cultural fairs and competitions, development of clusters of textile handicrafts, special awards for young artisans, organization of trainings and strengthening of handicraft boards may help in reviving these crafts of Punjab for the posterity.

    PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT BY USING SELECTED MINOR FIBRES THROUGH WEAVING
    (PAU Ludhiana, 2011) Amanpreet Kaur; Sandeep, Bains
    The present study entitled "Product development by using selected minor fibres through weaving" was carried out in Mansa district. An interview schedule was prepared for collecting data from forty respondents. The results of investigation revealed that majority of the respondents belonged to 25-50 years of age who were illiterate, they belonged to joint families and had a monthly income between Rs.2500-5000. Majority (97.5 percent) of the respondents used waste cotton as minor fibre because it is easily available in the open market. Most of the respondent wove durries in traditional designs by using floral motifs. They created textures using two-types of fibre. Majority used natural fibre for the background and two colours for the motifs. Lattice was the most preferred technique (97 percent) to finish the raw edges. Durrie was the most time consuming article and four craft persons took four days and on each day they wove for four hours to complete a durrie. Out of all the articles the craft persons earned maximum profit from sitter (peedhi). The major problem faced by the respondents were lack of financial assistance and lack of demand for product. Forty four samples were created using minor fibres out of which ten most preferred samples were selected by each judge. Texture made from undyed hemp using twill weave (3/1) was given first rank. Later ten articles were prepared which included bag, purse, tray, belt, slippers, coaster plates, newspaper holder, fan (pakhhi), sitter (peedhi) and file cover. On the basis of fibre suitability, bag and file cover were ranked first by the craft persons and the consumers, respectively. According to the design coaster plates were ranked first both by the craft persons and the consumers. On the basis of colour combinations slippers and coaster plates ranked first by the craft persons and the consumers, respectively. Coaster plates were ranked first both by the craft persons and the consumers according to the overall impact. According to the utility bag and file cover were ranked first by the craft person and the consumers, respectively. Majority of the craft person (57.5 percent) and the consumers (72.5 percent) reported that the quoted price were suitable. Thirty to forty percent can me earned by making innovating articles using minor fibres through weaving.

    A STUDY ON DYEING PERFORMANCE ON MULBERRY SILK WASTE/WOOL BLENDED FABRIC
    (PAU Ludhiana, 2011) Pooja Bhatt; Sandeep Bains
    The present study entitled “A study on dyeing performance on mulberry silk waste/wool blended fabric” was carried out to analyse the effect of dyeing on mulberry silk/wool blended fabric. Cold reactive, hot reactive, leveling acid and milling acid dyes were selected for the study. Optimum conditions for dyeing the mulberry silk waste/wool blended fabric with cold reactive dye was, pH 7 for 60 minutes at room temperature using 4 percent dye concentration. Whereas 5 pH for 70 minutes at 90°C with 3 percent dye concentration was considered optimum for dyeing the fabric with hot reactive dye. In case of levelling acid dyeing optimum dyeing conditions were, pH 5 for 80 minutes at 90°C using 4 percent dye concentration. In order to optimize the dyeing condition for milling acid dye best results were obtained at 7 pH with dyeing time 80 minutes, temperature 90°C and 4 percent dye concentration. Physical and mechanical properties like crease recovery angle and tensile strength increased after dyeing the fabric with cold reactive dye, this was followed by hot reactive dyed fabric. Whereas fabric dyed using milling acid dye showed better GSM, thickness, drapability and elongation. However no change was observed on the cover factor after dyeing. Light fastness grade was excellent for the fabric dyed using milling dye and good. Fabric dyed using hot reactive dye showed excellent grade for wash fastness in terms of colour change and no staining on both wool and silk fabrics. The fabric dyed with milling dye exhibited good to excellent grade for dry rubbing in terms of colour change and negligible staining on adjacent fabric, for wet rubbing good grade in terms of colour change and slight staining was observed on adjacent fabric. Hot reactive dyed fabric showed better results for perspiration fastness as compared to the other dyed fabrics. The perspiration grade of hot reactive dyed fabric was excellent for colour change in acidic medium and slight staining on both wool and silk fabrics. When the dyed fabric was kept in the alkaline medium the colour change was ranged between good to excellent, negligible staining was found on wool fabric and slight staining was observed on silk fabric.
