A sample of 180 respondents of rural women, comprising of 60 women from each of the three selected districts of Malwa region namely, Ludhiana, Patiala and Bathinda, who had developed traditional handicrafts in their life-time, was selected purposively. The results showed that the presently only 13.88 per cent respondents were occasionally practicing this craft. The largest percentage of respondents (28.89%) had made bohey/chhikkoo and dull (large bohiya) followed by 20.00, 19.45, 15.56, 15.00 and 11.67 per cent respondents who had made pitari(an)/sarposh(s), chhabi(an), chhaj, katnee(s) and changair from plant and waste materials. For development of textile textures, six types of plant and agro-waste materials were selected for further study. Three plant waste materials, i.e. wheat and paddy straws and date palm leaves, suitable for use in natural form were woven in plain weave and moulded in composite textures. The other three plant waste materials, i.e. ashoka and china-rose pruned stems, and corn huskssuitable for extraction of fibres by alkalization were selected. Analysis of physical parameters of extracted fibres revealed that china-rose fibres had lowest denier (69.12) and highest moisture content (12.17%) in contrast to corn husk and ashoka fibres, but highest bundle strength (24.75g/tex) was found in ashoka fibres. Six handspun blended yarns- pure ashoka fabric, ashoka/wool (50:50), pure china-rose, china-rose/cotton (50:50), corn husk/viscose rayon (70:30) and corn husk/hemp (30:70) were developed. The china-rose/cotton (50:50) blended yarn had highest elongation (3.88%) and tenacity (2.49g/tex) as compared to other yarns. The physical properties of developed hand-woven blended union fabrics were analyzed and developed ashoka (0.72s), wool (2/18)/50ashoka:50wool (1.77s), china-rose (0.73s), cotton (2/30)/50china-rose:50 cotton (2.89s), cotton (2/20)/70corn husk:30viscose rayon (0.74s) and cotton (2/20s)/30cornhusk:70hemp (1.31s) were found appropriate for home-textile and apparel products. The developed woven and moulded composite textures from straws and leaves are recommended for multiple end-uses like coaster plates, paper weights, trays, pen holders, fancy boxes besides wall tiles in interior designing, file folders and other such products. | en_US |
