dc.description.abstractThe study aimed at constructing knitted fabrics from blend of soy silk and waste wool fiber. Blending of soy silk and waste wool fiber was done in the ratio 20:80, 30:70 and 50:50 using roving method and 10 kg of fiber mix was prepared for each blend. Both worsted and woollen spinning system were used to spin the blended slivers. The yarn count varied with the blend ratio. The yarn with blend ratio 20:80 had a count 2/18, yarn with blend ratio 30:70 was a single ply yarn with a count 1/10 and blend ratio 50:50 had a yarn count of 1/0.50. The developed blended yarns were tested for selected physical and mechanical properties. On the basis of test results and aesthetic appeal of blended yarns, the yarns with blend ratio of 20:80 and 30:70 were used to construct weft knitted fabrics. Each blended yarn was knitted into both single and double knitted structures. The fabrics developed were shown to a panel of experts from knitting industry and academia. The weft knitted fabrics were found suitable for both apparel and upholstery applications. In apparel, the fabrics were suggested to be used for making sweaters, cardigans, kids wear, socks, caps and t-shirts. The developed fabrics were also found suitable for cushion covers and table linens in upholstery. The yarn with blend ratio 50:50 was found suitable for making blankets, khes, durries and carpets. The cost of the developed fabric from blend ratio 20:80 and 30:70 was ₹ 285.71 and ₹ 228.57 per metre respectively. The developed blended yarns and fabrics were also analysed for their production feasibility by taking expert opinion and ranking them on a 3 point scale. All the developed fabrics were found to feasible for commercial production and their probable acceptance of consumer acceptability also came out to be high when they were evaluated against set parameters. Thus, the developed fabrics are recommended to be taken for commercial production in knitting industries.en_US
