My remarks were in response to a question regarding the comparative speed of various means of cloth production. In the same response was a description of both the evolution which I underwent as well as a description of how I used a very wide range of production means according to which was most appropriate for the volume involved. I was and never am in any way suggesting that handloom weavers adopt a level of production technology which is not appropriate for their needs. As to the space and finance issue, logic would indicate that were the volume of production sufficient that items had to be made faster, finances and space could be found if the producer so desired or as an alternative the work could be commissioned out to those who have the finances and space. >I am curious about Allen's present position.

Whether I personally am still in the weaving mill business or not is irrelevant to the discussion and does not detract from the experiences I mean to pass on in the comments I contribute to the discussion. I spent 30+ years actively doing that about which I comment. The fact that I am no longer actively in mill work doesn't erase so much as one of those years. My reason for stopping are personal and not for public disclosure, but these reason had nothing to do with the failure of the various levels of technology with which I worked. >The show is just wonderful.

I always wonder why woven things not done in mills seem to be placed on a pedestal. Were it not for the things produced in mills, like mine and others, most of the world who is making woven things not done in mills would be naked indeed. Mills, with all their technology provide the means by which people can be provided with textiles of an extremely wide range of designs at a wide range of price points. Considering the alternative, this technology should be more appreciated rather than rebuffed. The fact that Peter chose to do things completely manually should not place him or anyone else similarly situated on a higher plane than any who chooses to do things by mechanical means.

At the risk of sounding as if I am sidestepping the question, let me suggest that this kind of information, contained in many of the books in the bibliography posted a while ago, is best gleaned and studied elsewhere and brought back to the discussion. Just providing an understanding of the technical language alone used to describe what is implicit in the above list would require a massively long message. Two things handloom weavers need to do if they are interested in learning more about mill technloogy and then considering how it can be applied to handloom weaving at even the most basic level are: a)Read as much as you can lay your hands on about mill tecchnology. Books are out there and easily available through ILL. Study the mechanical principles involved in creating woven textiles regardless of the means used to produce them. Do all this before you go to... b) Get to as many mills as possible. Make whatever effort is required - 3 - WeaveTech Archive 9912 becaust the learning will be well worth it. Talk to mill people at every level and gain a better understanding of what they do and how much like ordinary people they are. Look past the visual confusion, noise and activity and most of all your own discomfort with the unfamiliar.

Various types of impurities presents in the substrates. The processes involved in removing impurities. Overview In this chapter students will get to know about various techniques of preparatory process of textile material which is the essential part of the processing. Without preparatory process it is very difficult to achieve the desire result in the dyeing, printing and finishing process. After studying this chapter, the students will be familiarized and will be able to understand terminology used in the Industry, impurities present in natural and synthetic fibers (Raw Cotton, Wool, Silk, Polyester, Nylon and Acrylic) and their effective and cost economic removal. This unit also deals with Chemical Processes, Chemical Treatment, Process Flowcharts of Cotton, Wool, Silk and Synthetic fibers, Elementary Knowledge of Sizing, Resizing, Scouring & Bleaching. After understanding these terminology students will be able to know the processes involved in achieving desired fabric quality. 1 INTRODUCTION TO CHEMICAL PROCESSING: PRE-TREATMENTS 1.1 TEXTILE CHEMICAL PROCESSING FOR THE FIBERS (PREPARATORY OPERATIONS) Newly constructed fabric as it comes from the mill is called gray good. This does not imply that the fabric is gray in color, it simply denotes any unfinished fabric. The goods must pass through various finishing processes to make it suitable for its intended end use. Finishing may change the appearance of the fabric, its hand (feel), its serviceability, and its durability. Gray goods must be cleaned before they can be finished.

  • The French Connection: Indian Cottons, Their Early Modern Technology and Diffusion
    The French Connection: Indian Cottons, Their Early Modern Technology and Diffusion George Bryan Souza* Asia’s production of cotton and silk textiles, porcelain and the refining of base metals, zinc in particular, in the early modern period were more advanced than the rest of the world. Fundamental to Asia’s success and superiority in textile production was the technology employed by artisans in the selection of raw materials and the techniques used in their application and presentation. Before Europe could diverge technically from other parts of the globe, European textile manufacture had to converge through the acquisition and incorporation of new materials and technical knowledge from other parts of the globe, especially from India and China1 or, alternatively, through new or incremental advances in technical knowledge, production processes, machines, and apparatus. Cotton a vegetable fiber was “one of the most difficult fibers to dye,” “unlike animal fibers such as silk and wool, which can accept most natural dyes with ‘comparative’ ease, inherent properties * University of Texas, San Antonio, USA.

  • The Jaina Cult of Relic Stūpas
    The Jaina Cult of Relic Stūpas Peter Flügel1 (SOAS) Abstract This article gives an overview of recent findings on the thriving cult of bone relic stūpas in contemporary Jaina culture. Although Jaina doctrine rejects the worship of material objects, fieldwork in India on the hitherto unstudied current Jaina mortuary rituals furnished clear evidence for the ubiquity of bone relic stūpas and relic venera- tion across the Jaina sectarian spectrum. The article discusses a representative case and assesses the significance of the overall findings for the history of religions. It also offers a new theoretical explanation of the power of relics. Keywords Jaina relic stūpas, mortuary rituals, Vallabha Samudāya, cultural unconscious, theory of generalized symbolic media, relics as social forms 1) I am indebted to Ācārya Vijaya Virendra Sūri, Muni Rajendra Vijaya, Sādhvī Suvratā Śrī, Rāj Kumār Jain, Tejpāl Jain, Vinod N.

Which has formed a clear specification and strict classification system even teaching materials in Eighteenth Century. Based on the existing material objects and teaching materials, this paper systematically sorts out the variety system of French silk fabrics, makes a detailed classification of varieties, and analyzes the political factors of the prosperity and development of French silk industry in the 18th century. 1. Preface The history of silk in France was not very long, but it indeed reached the peak of the world and was extremely glorious. Especially around the 18th century, which can be divided into four periods. For starters, the country supported silk industry by making policies under king Louis XIV's reign, and then, lots of technique innovations appeared during the reign of king Louis XV. What’s more, flourishing period of silk in France started when Louis XVI succeeded. However, it was the French Revolution that made a huge decline of silk industry.

  • Screen Printing on Tensioned Warps in Handwoven Fabrics
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF MARGARET ANN MEZERA for the MASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) CLOTHING, TEXTILES in AND RELATED ARTS presented on /979 (Major) (Date) Title: SCREEN PRINTING ON TENSIONED WARPS IN HANDWOVEN FABRICS Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Dr. Ruth E. Gates The creating of pattern in woven fabrics by placing design on the warps and/or wefts before they are woven is ancient. Primary examples of these textiles are ikat, which is a resist dyeing technique, and chine, in which design is painted or in some way printed on the tensioned warp yarns. This study investigated the use of the screen process method to print the design on tensioned warps in handwoven fabrics.Three experimental warps (cotton, linen, and rayon), were printed and woven. The interaction of the fiber content of the warp, set, weave, and the color of warp, weft, and print were observed. Assessments were made to determine combinations which would achieve a clear and forceful design statement. Results of experiments suggested the importance of selecting yarn for warp which is inelastic, relatively fine and which will allow thorough dye penetration.Best dye penetration was achieved in rayon, and best results were achieved when the warp was threaded and woven in a pattern which exposed a high proportion of the warp yarn.In addition, the printed design was strongest after weaving when both warp and weft threads were a neutral color of light value. Using the screen process method to print design on tensioned warps gave advantages of promoting thorough dye penetration, allowed speed and ease of design replication, and gave the possibility of achieving good precision in edges of design motif.

  • The Emperor's Humbler Clothes
    SYLVIA HOUGHTELING THE EMPEROR’S HUMBLER CLOTHES Textures of Courtly Dress in Seventeenth- century South Asia Abstract This study reconstructs the humbler components of South Asian courtly ensembles worn by the greatest Mughal emperors, which included relatively inexpensive tie-dyed cloths made in Rajasthan and finely spun cotton muslins from Bengal. Court biographies, popular lexicons, and the letters sent from the Mughal court to its Rajput allies reveal that the fabrics used for dress in early modern South Asia were valued for sensory qualities, such as softness, saturation of color, and coolness on the skin, that went beyond the cost of the materials or the sophistication of the technology used to produce them. This project transports the study of dress in early modern South Asia beyond its current focus on the material wealth of imperial costumes to recover the sensory experience of wearing airy cotton and velvety wool, as well as the sophisticated intellectual, poetic, and political messages that could be carried in the fabric of a courtly coat. In his 1641 autobiography, the Jain merchant Banarasidas described the ways in which the tex- ture of life changed in the north Indian city of Jaunpur following news of the death of Emperor Akbar in 1605. “The people, bereft of their emperor, felt orphaned and hopeless,” he wrote.1 The wealthy feared that chaos would descend; they buried their jewelry and sealed their doors. They also changed their attire: Men began to wear plain clothes And casting off fine shawls, wrapped themselves in rough blankets The women too began to dress plainly.2 Conditions returned to normal ten days later, when the news spread that Prince Salim, QUICK CITATION Akbar’s son, had ascended to the throne as Emperor Jahangir and now reigned throughout the Houghteling, Sylvia.
