    EFFECT OF EXTRAFOLIATION OF BOTANICALS ON QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF MULBERRY SILK
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-10) ANGADI, ARCHANA P.; Mahale, Geeta
    The present investigation was conducted in the year 1998-99 in the department of Textiles & Clothing in collaboration with the department of sericulture at the University of Agricultural Sciences Dharwad. The research was done to exploit different weeds, to know the effect of these weeds on the quality parameters of cocoon as well as raw silk yarn and also to know if there is any allergic effect of the raw silk produced out of extrafoliation of Parthenium. The botanicals used for the experiment were Parthenium hysterophorus, Tridax procumbens & Lantana camara. Due to the abundant availability of these weeds and also based on the earlier studies on these weeds it was decided to use these botanicals for the present investigation. The salient results of the research are: Among the cocoon parameters Parthenium showed better results for cocoon weight and shell weight whereas it was Tridax as far as shell ratio was considered. Among the silk filament parameters it was Tridax which gave better results for denier and average filament length but it was Parthenium for average nonbreakable filament length. For the silk yarn parameters Tridax gave best results for winding breaks, average size, size deviation, evenness and average neatness. Parthenium gave better results for average cleanness, tenacity and cohesion. Lantana gave good result for elongation. In all the parameters it was the treated group which gave best results than the control. As far as allergy test was considered, though all the thirty subjects irrespective of sex had sensitive skin, none of them showed any dermatalogic hazards like rashes, redness, itching or burning. The raw silk produced out of extrafoliation of Parthenium proved to be safe to manufacture the fabric

    ASSESSMENT OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CAMEL AND GOAT HAIR
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-09-01) KIRTI NAGAL; SHAILAJA D. NAIK
    The present study entitled assessment of physical properties of camel and goat hair was carried out during 2004-06 to assess the physical properties of camel and goat hair, to compare the quality parameter of camel, goat and blended yams and determine the effect of acid and reactive dyeings on the colourfastness of camel yarn. The camel hair was procured from National Research Centre on Camels, Bikaner (Raj) and goat hair from Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner (Raj). The fibre samples were assessed for morphological, chemical and physical characteristics. The hair were distinctively handspun into camel, goat and blended yams (Camekgoat 50:50) and were assessed for yam count, yarn twist and single yarn strength. But camel yarn was alone dyed in acid and reactive dyes and assessed for colour fastness. From the results of pilot study yellow, green and blue colour and 2 per cent dye concentration was selected on the basis of dye absorption and visual appearance. Camel hair was relatively finer with lower medullation percentage compared to goat hair. Camel yarn was finer with greater number of tpi whose single yarn strength and elongation percentage was lower than to goat and blended yarn. Acid and reactive dyes showed significant adverse effect on yam properties, that inturn resulted into yarn coarseness, lower tpi and decreased in single yarn strength regardless of hues and dyeing methods. Dyed samples showed good colourfastness to crocking and sunlight. Hence to enhance the appearance of camel hair, colour can be added as value addition that aids the young entrepreneurs to take up this venture and rejuvenate the applicability of speciality hair fibres.

    REVIVAL OF RELIC KHANA MATERIAL AS CONTEMPORARY DESIGNER'S BED LINEN
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-09-01) NAMRATA M; SHAILAJA D. NAIK
    The present study entitled "Revival of relic khana material as contemporaiy bed linen" was conducted during 2004 - 06. Traditional handwoven khana materials are the blouse (kubasa) material with extra warp dobby figures of Northern Karnataka. In the present days, the utility of khana materials for cboli purpose has declined to a greater extent affecting the weaver's community. Hence efforts were made to revive the relic khana material by diversifying its utility towards designing contemporary diwan sets. According to objectives, 30 each of housewives and working women were interviewed using self structured schedule by personally interviewing to assess the most suitable fibre content, colour and pattern of khana material for designing diwan sets. Five diwan sets were designed by using different patchwork techniques like block, crazy, logcabin, mosaic and tucked patchworks. They were surface enriched with tribal embroideries and accessories viz.., coins, shells, tassels, frills and bells to give an ethnic look. Further, consumer's acceptance to the newly designed diwan sets was assessed from 50 each of housewives and working women to reveal its suitability to the contemporaiy era. Mosaic patchwork was highly accepted followed by block, logcabin, tucked and crazy patchwork. About 82 percent of the respondents opined excellent for designer's diwan sets and expressed that they give trendy look. These diwan sets were digitized using Corel DRAW version 7.0 to throw light on applicability of khana on three lighter background material viz.., blue, red and yellow. The total cost and return was high in block and crazy patchworks, moderate for tucked and logcabin patchworks and low for mosaic patchwork. These designer's diwan sets have great demand in three star and five star hotels which would enrich their interiors. Self entrepreneurs can expand their units to build international market and in turn promote khana weavers.
