    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.
