    (PAU, 2014) Gupta, Mohini; Saggu, Harinder Kaur
    The present study on „Potential use of shoddy yarn for development of textile products‟ was carried out in six shoddy units, three each in Ludhiana and Amritsar districts of Punjab through probability proportional to size sampling technique. It was observed that maximum number of shoddy units started during 1980-1990 with an initial capital investment of 5-10 crores. All units in Ludhiana were having proprietorship; whereas two third units were private limited in Amritsar. The socio personal profile revealed that all the respondents were graduates in both districts. Maximum number of units had employed 1-15 numbers of managers and supervisors at both places. There were 435 workers in shoddy units of Ludhiana and majority of them were males and only eleven per cent were females; whereas in Amritsar only nine per cent were females. In shoddy units of Ludhiana, 38 per cent polyester textile waste was used as raw material followed by wool (32%) and acrylic (30%); whereas in Amritsar majority of the units were using woollen waste (60%) as raw material followed by acrylic (30%) and polyester (10%). Only blankets were woven in both districts and yarn was spun on worsted spinning system. Physical or mechanical properties were analyzed for 8Nm, 10Nm and 12Nm shoddy yarn.10Nm and 12Nm shoddy yarn was used during study for developing different textile products. These yarns were found to be significant at 0.05 per cent level of significance in both districts. Preferences were taken and twenty four designs were developed for preparing four prototype samples each in cushion cover, table mat, carry bag, wall hanging, stole and muffler. Weaving method of fabric construction with 10Nm of yarn was found to be suitable for cushion cover, carry bag, table mats and wall hanging but crochet method of fabric construction with 12Nm of yarn was found to be suitable for muffler and stole. Preferences were taken from a sub sample of 60 women in the age of 25-35 years to assess consumer acceptability. According to the preferences of the respondents, cushion cover obtained first rank for its innovativeness, embellishments, colour combination and texture. Suitability to utility for carry bag was considered best. Cushion cover was given highest rank for the overall appeal. The quoted prices were considered adequate with a profit margin ranging from 25 to 50 per cent. Cushion cover and carry bag had significantly high commercial viability. The developed textile products from shoddy yarn were highly appreciated, thus these products were highly accepted by the consumers.
