Fashion Transformation of the Bamboo Fabric for Sustainability By Fashion Transformation of the Bamboo Fabric for Sustainability By Dr. Kavita Chaudhary (Ph. D. Textile & Fashion) Associate Professor Banasthali Vidyapith Rajasthan-304022 Bamboo viscose, also known as regenerated bamboo, is a regenerated cellulosic fibre. In the last few years in the world market, more and more products from bamboo fibres have been appearing. It is market as having exceptional properties such as superior comfort and hand, as well as antimicrobial properties. These are suitable for hygienic products and sanitary materials sanitary napkins, absorbing pads, masks, bandages and surgical gowns. Currently, regenerated bamboo fibres are used in apparel including undergarments, sportswear, t-shirts and socks. Yarns of bamboo fibres provide the desirable properties of strength, high moisture absorbency, antimicrobial and antifungal, sheen and smooth close to silk, high breathability and thermo regulating properties in textiles and made ups. In their collection, designers often replace more expensive materials like cashmere or silk and concluded that the strength of bamboo fibres was equivalent to that of glass fibres. Bamboo fibre has found its way into the fashion world. So, the present study is a step in this direction. Objective 1: Sub Objective 1: To develop Kota Doria fabrics from mixture of bamboo-silk and cotton-silk yarns Construction of fabrics Two types of Kota Doria fabrics were manufactured in which bamboo / cotton and silk yarns were used to prepare khat.- 1. Bamboo and silk 2. Cotton and silk 1/54 Nm Cotton, 1/64 Nm bamboo counts 1/332 Nm count of silk Yarns Each khat make 14 threads (i.e., 08 of cotton/bamboo and 06 of silk yarns) were used both side warp and weft. 300-350 ‘khats’ across the 46-48 inch width of the fabric. Develop of the Kota Doria on Pit handloom used 100 reed count with plain weave. Kota Doria Fabric Kota Doria is a handloom made up of cotton/bamboo and silk which is known for its special weaving style that makes the final fabric transparency, light, airy and comfortable feeling makes it first choice for the summer. It is also popularly known as Masuria Malmal. Cotton-silk is most popular combination of Kota Doria. The warp and weft use a combination of 60% cotton and 30% silk yarns, this creates a fine square cheque patterns. Checks are popularly known as ‘khats’. Weaving Processes Bobbin making Creel filling Peg warping Warp knotting: (Piecing) Sizing process Weaving Sub Objective 2: To determine selected properties of developed fabrics 3. Properties of Fabrics 3.1 Fabric’s low stress mechanical properties Low stress mechanical properties such as compression, tensile, shear, bending and surface properties were measured to assess hand of the fabrics. These parameters were entered into the Kawabata evaluation system to calculate primary and total hand values. 3.1.1 Compressional behaviour Table 5: Compression properties S.

  • Weave Structure and Image Pattern Exploration for Modern Double-Cloth Design Development by Deploying Digital Technology
    Volume 10, Issue 4, 2018 Weave Structure and Image Pattern Exploration for Modern Double-cloth Design Development by Deploying Digital Technology Ken Ri Kim, Lecturer, Loughborough University, United Kingdom ABSTRACT The use of digital technology can open up new opportunities for Jacquard fabric to provide novel forms of decorative fabrics. In additional to color, texture and material, multiple layer format such as double-cloth is considered a crucial design element. In using the traditional weaving method, double-cloth design features are limited to abstract styles (i.e., stripes and color blocks). However, by deploying digital technology it is possible to depict much complicated fashion on both sides of a fabric. Two distinguished images are realized through weft yarn colors of which face, and back layer equally offer unique design novelty that was not possible with existing weaving methods. Therefore, this study firstly explored on a weave structure development which is capable of presenting pictorial images on both sides of a fabric. Once the weave structure format is finalized, further experiment is carried out with the CMYK color threads to explore the possibility of expanding a weave color scope for double-cloth. Based on the two experiments results, the details of weave structure and the image pattern design are explained to propose new types of modern double-cloth. Keywords: Double-cloth, Weave structure design, Pictorial image, Weave color expansion 1. Introduction contrast, in modern digital weaving as each Double cloth possesses at least two sets warp thread is threaded into individual hooks, of warp and weft yarns primarily engaged in higher capability and flexibility results from generating its own layer of fabric to form the loom setting (Ishida, 1994).

  • Kota Doria Saree
    Kota Doria Saree Back ground: Doria (stripe) fabrics in narrow width for turban used to be woven in Kota in earlier days. Some weaver were brought from Mysore to Kota by the great patron of craft MahaRaj Kishore Singh (1684-1695). These weavers introduced silk yarn in Doria weaving in Kota and surrounding areas about 250 year ago. Today this activity is practised by the weavers of Hadoti region (Bundi, Kota and Baran districts of Rajasthan). Kota is now famous for ‘Kota Doria saree’ or sometimes called as ‘Kota Masuria saree’. Since then, Kota doria has under gone a long journey from being used as a pagri or turban (headgear) to saree and now has multiple uses like Dress material, stole, curtain & other products. Material Used: Kota Doria Saree is produced by using cotton & mulberry raw silk yarns in the base fabric whereas Gold and Silver Zari (fine metal threads) yarns in extra warp and extra weft for designing. The cotton yarn provides strength and suppleness whereas fine raw silk makes the fabric transparent and delicate. Technique applied: Kota doria saree is woven on a traditional throw shuttle pit loom in such a fashion that it creates small square check pattern in the fabric, locally called as Khat by putting the cotton and silk yarns in different densities both in the warp and weft directions. In a good quality Kota doria saree, there are about 300 to 350 ‘Khat’ across the width of the fabric. Design is developed by jala/ jacquard system. Pure zari is used in border and buti woven on extra weft designing technique.

  • Textiles Under Mughals
    Chapter V Textiles under Mughals- The advent of the Mughal dynasty gave an undeniable boost to production of the up-market textile, as to other craft. Textiles are singled out for mentioned by Abul Fazl, the minister and biographer of Akbar (1556-1605), in his Ain-i-Akbari, compile in the 1590‟s as a subject in which the emperor took particular interest. Akbar favoured woollen garment – the chosen wear of Sufis (Muslim mystics) – „from his indifference to everything that is worldly‟ in preference to the richer stuffs. His penchant for wool is also indicated by the steps he took to improve shawl manufacture; especially in the relation to dyes and width of fabric.1 Ain-i- Akbari goes into fascinating details on the manner of classifying garments in the imperial wardrobe (toshkhana). The textiles were arranged according to the date of entry which was recorded, sometime with other information, on a label tacked on to the piece (practice which survived in provision toshkhana into the 20th century). Price, colour and weight were also taken into account. Within these boundaries, textile took precedence according to the nature of the day, astrologically auspicious or otherwise on which they were received. A further refinement took into account the colours, of which thirty five are listed in the order of precedence. Abul Fazl further records that imperial workshops had been set up in the cities of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad, where the best of the local craftsmen were requisitioned to supply the needs of the court.2 Persian masters were brought in to teach improved techniques.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry.
