| dc.description.abstract | 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. | en_US |
