    DYEING OF UAS SHEEP BREED WOOL WITH ACACIA CATECHU LEAVES
    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2003) Avaradi, Rashmi D; Mahale, Geeta
    "The present study was carried out during the period 2002-03. The main objectives of the study were to optimize the dyeing conditions with Acacia catechu leaves, to ascertain the physical properties of UAS Sheep breed wool yarn dyed with Acacia catechu leaves and to assess the colourfastness of the dyed samples. UAS sheep breed wool was selected from Poultry, Sheep and Goat Farm, Main Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. The wool sample was cleaned, cdrded and spun into yarn at Wool Research Association, Thane, Mumbai. Later it was scoured and dyed with Acacia catechu leaves extract. The effect of scouring and dyeing on wool was determined by assessing the physical parameters of wool yarn before scouring and after scouring and dyeing. Colourfastness testes to washing, rubbing, sunlight and perspiration were carried out and assessed using grey scale and standard wool pattern. The results obtained were statistically analysed using completely randomized design and correlation test. Results revealed that 6 per cent dye concentration, 45 minutes dye extraction time, 45 minutes dyeing time and 15 minutes mordanting time were optimized at 540?. wavelength for dyeing wool with Acacia catechu leaves. Scouring enhanced the dye absorption rate. The strength, elongation and yarn count of scoured and dyed samples in acidic media were found to be decreased compared to the undyed samples. Colourfastness of all the dyed wool samples were ranged between good to excellent. Wool sample premordanted with 1 per cent ferrous sulphate exhibited excellent colourfastness in acidic media."

    "The present study was conducted in Dharwad district of Karnataka state during 2000 with the objectives to know the origin of different handloom cotton textiles, to identify prevailing weaving techniques, to workout economics of weaving and to study the marketing channels for handloom cotton textiles. The sample comprised of 120 weavers selected randomly from four villai^es of Dharwad district namely, Garag, Hebballi^ Hebasur and Uppin Betageri. The respondents were interviewed personally. The results levealed that about 75 per cent of the weavers were working in co-operative societies and 25 per cent of the weavers were working independently. Majorit}' of the weavers had education upto primary level and belonged to nuclear family having medium annual income. About 61.62 per cent of weavers selected weaving due to lack of job opportunities. All th( co-operative societies purchased raw material from KVIC and independent weavers purchased from local dealers. Majority of the independent weavers engaged in the production of chawali. Most of the independent weavers obtained their designs from elder people and two co-operative societies obtained their designs from KVIC. All the co-operative societies and independent weavers faced the problem of delay in transportation while procuring raw material and they sold their product in show room and outside state. Most of the independent weavers sold their goods in their own residence and doing door to door service. It was observed that all the three co-operative societies sold their product monthly. About 80.00 per cent of the independent weavers sold their product on market day. All the three co-operative societies sold their goods to wholesalers. None of them sold to middlemen."

    HANDWOVEN TUFTED CARPETS OF MUNDGOD
    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2000) Bhat, Sandhya P; Mahale, Geeta
    "The present investigation was undertaken during the year 2000 in Tibtan settlement of Mundgod taluk of Uttar Kannada district with the objectives to study tlie origin of Tibetan carpets, to enumerate the technique of making tufted carpets, their special features and economic analysis of production of tufted carpets. The whole population was taken as sample i.e. 30 women, 15 each (Tibetans and Non-tibetans) were purposively selected, who employed in two carpet weaving centres run by Tibetan co-operative society. The respondents were interviewed personally. The results revealed that nearly eighty per cent of the Tibetan weavers belonged to middle age group. Majority of Tibetan weavers were belonged to high income group and Non-tibetan weavers belonged to low income group. Tibetan and Non-tibetan weavers derived their income from Agriculture. Both the co-operative societies purchased raw materials from producers on cash payment. Two co-operative societies produced carpets of different dimensions with animal, bird, floral and religioiis motifs having different colour combinations. Lack of publicity and advertisement was the major problem faced by the societies while merchandising the products. In the total cost of production, the contribution of variable cost was highest and net profits in hand woven tufted carpets were found to be very low."

    STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF SCOURING, BLEACHING, MERCERIZATION AND CLEANSING AGENTS ON PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF NATURALLY COLOURED COTTON AND WHITE COTTON YARNS
    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2002) Magadi, Renuka B; Naik, Shailaja D
    "The present investigation entitled ""Studies on the effect of scouring, bleaching, mercerization and cleansing agents on the physical properties of naturally coloured cotton and white cotton yams"" was carried out during 2001-02 at Dharwad. Three colour cotton genotypes namely Hirsutum Cream Cotton-1 (HCC-1), Hirsutum Colour Cotton-7 (HCC-7), Dharwad Brown Hirsutum-12 (DBH-12) and one white cotton Jayadhar were selected for the present study. The experiment carried out at yarn stage included treating the yams with scouring agents viz., soda ash (Si), a mild alkali and caustic soda (S2), a strong alkali. The Si and S2 scoured genotypes were separately bleached with two bleaching agents viz., hydrogen peroxide (Bi) and sodium hypochlorite (B2) and mercerized with strong caustic soda. The survey was conducted to collect information regarding various cleansing agents used for domestic laundering. Based on the survey results four cleansing agents viz.. Wheel cake, Rin Supreme cake. Wheel powder and Surf Excel detergent powders were selected. The Si and S2 scoured genotypes were washed upto ten washes. After scouring, bleaching, mercerization and fifth and tenth washings the genotypes were assessed for single yam strength and change in pigmentation using computer colour matching system under daylight, tungsten, tubelight-83 and tubelight-84 illuminations. There was increase in the single yarn strength among all the genot3'pes on scouring, but the colour genotypes showed better improvement when scoured with caustic soda. Scouring led to yellowing of white cotton. Remarkable increase in yarn strength was achieved on mercerization over control. Washing did not adversely affect the durability of the genotypes but infact enhanced the strength upto fifth wash. Hypochlorite bleaching did enhance the single yarn strength of all the genotypes where as hydrogen peroxide reduced the same. Scouring, mercerization and washings enhanced the pigmentation of colour genotypes. Bleaching drastically faded the pigment of colour cotton while Jayadhar regained the brightness on bleaching."

    SPECIAL FINISHES TO IMPROVE RESILIENCY AND HAND-FEEL OF THE NATURALLY COLOURED COHON KHADI FABRIC
    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2005) Mulasavalagi, Sujata H; Naik, Shailaja D
    "The present investigation entitled ""Special finishes to improve resiliency and hand-feel of the naturally coloured cotton khadi fabric"" was carried out during 2003-05 at Dharwad. The naturally coloured cotton khadi fabric of brown variety DDCC-1, Gossypium arboreum was selected for the present study. This Khadi fabric was subjected for crease resistant, enzyme and softener finishes and the treated samples were then assessed for physical and functional properties. There was slight increase in yarn count, cloth count, thickness; and considerable increase in bending length as well as crease recovery angle, when fabric treated with crease resistant finish, because of cross-linking of cellulosic chains. The enzyme treated test samples showed increase in yarn count, cloth count and drapability where as other mechanical and functional properties remained almost unaltered. The cationic and silicone softeners during mechanical agitation removed the protruding staple fibres, thus making the yarn both softer and finer. Because of improvement in softness, there was positive impact of fabric properties like weight, thickness, bending path and crease recovery angle. Significant improvement in drapability and resistance to pilling was also noticed. However, cationic treated samples showed better results than the silicone softener."

    WEAVING COMPUTERIZED NEGI MOTIFS IN TRADITIONAL LAKKUNDI SAREES
    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2003) Vastrad, Jyothi V; Naik, Shailaja D
    "The present investigation entitled 'Weaving computerized negi motifs in traditional Lakkundi sarecs' was conducted during 2000-03. Totally 125 wage weavers and 8 master weavers from Lakkundi and Shigli villages of Gadag district were interviewed using self-structured questionnaire by personal interview method to collect the historical background and demographics of polycot saree weavers. PSP and GC Kala-2000 software was used to digitize thirteen commonly used kasuti motifs. Five sarecs were woven on the powerloom by incorporating kasuti motifs with jacquard mechanism. Fifty each rural and urban women expressed their acceptability for newly designed sarees. History revealed that contrast-bordered lungi resembling the polycot sarees was produced even before independence on throw shuttle pit loom at Lakkundi. Merchants from Prasiddhi handlooms, Bangalore during 1990's encouraged weaving polycot sarees with cone technique. Majority of the wage weavers belonged to middle age with secondary education belonged to nuclear families whereas, majority of master weavers followed joint family norms. Kuruhinashettys and Deuangas predominated weaver's community. Sarees 1, 2 and 4 were woven with digitized negi motifs, retaining traditionality. Sarees 3 and 5 were woven with elaborate pallav, to meet consumer demand, a revival over traditionality. The weavers produced 17 plain sarees per week. However, the rate of production o[ computerized saree was relatively low because of extra weft figuring that led to loom stoppage. Many of the rural consumers opined that the computerized elephant with howdah, deer creeper, lotus, lotus butta, diagonal birds creeper, gopuram and wheat spike-lotus resembled the hand-embroidered motifs. In general the consumers preferred sarees 1, 2, 3 and 4. The net profit earned on newly designed sarees was remarkably higher than the traditional. There is a need to train the local weavers to weave sarees with computerized motifs."
