Syzygium cumini (L.) leaves extract was extracted through soxhlet method and was applied on cotton fabric by using pad dry cure process. Phytochemical analysis of S. cumini (L.) leaves extract indicated presence of tannin, flavonoids, saponin and phenols and exhibited antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria with zone of inhibition of (6.0 – 11.16 mm for B. subtilis and 4.83 -10.0 mm for S. aureus) and sun protective property with 23.91 – 25.01 SPF value at different Original Article Article Original concentrations. Cotton fabric finished with S. cumini (L.) leaves extract exhibited improvement in bacterial resistance with per cent reduction in the bacterial count of the finished fabric by 95.67% for S. aureus and 94.70% for B. subtilis as well as exhibited high UPF value (48.1), providing excellent protection when compared to untreated control fabric.

  • Weave Structure and Image Pattern Exploration for Modern Double-Cloth Design Development by Deploying Digital Technology

    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).

The purpose of this licentiate thesis is to present and discuss an empirical material regarding silk production in Sweden in the 19th century, to examine the possibilities and problems of different kinds of materials when used as source materials, and to describe how this material can be systematized and analysed in relation to the perspective of a textile scientific interpretation.
  • Textiles Under Mughals

    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 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. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

Submit your additions to: Mary Lane: [email protected] Thanks for helping out!] Glossary of Tapestry Terms Abrash – Slight variations in the weft color due to different dye lots, or to differences in dye absorption in the same dye lot. Arrondiment – (French) Soumak. Aubusson – (French) A city in France in which many commercial, low warp ateliers are located. The word is often used to refer, in a generic way, to low warp weaving. Awl – A pointed, metal instrument used for piercing small holes in leather, wood, etc. Weavers use awls to loosen, or pick apart, the densely packed weft and to manipulate the surface of the woven fabric. Basse-licier – (French) Low warp tapestry weaver. Basse lisse – (French) A low warp loom; low warp weaving. Bâton de croisure – (French) Shed stick. Battage – (French) A woven technique used for shading and transparencies in which the number of full passes of two or more colors changes in a proportional manner. Beams – Rollers on a loom, the warp beam holds the extra warp and the cloth beam holds the finished cloth.

Make Chunky Plaid Pillow 52" of braid or twisted rope trim using the Schacht Incredible Rope Machine. Assembly: Mark the center of the length of the fabric, zigzag on either side of the cutting line and cut apart for two equal pieces. With right sides together, stitch around all four sides, leaving at least an 8” opening for the pillow form. Turn the fabric right side out, insert the form and hand stitch the opening closed, leaving a ½" hole. Stuff the end of the trim into the hole and stitch the trim all the way around the pillow. Insert the other end into the hole and stitch the hole closed. Weave Structure: Plain weave Finished Size: 12½" x 12½" Equipment: 15" Cricket Loom, 5-dent reed, 2 stick shuttles, tapestry needle, sewing machine (you can also hand stitch), 12" pil- low form.
