INNOVATIVE USAGE OF SHODDY YARN FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

摘要

The study was undertaken by the investigator to add new and interesting ideas. This can break monotony and give a touch to novelty in designing of textile products by using shoddy yarn with two method of fabric construction i.e. crochet and weaving. For this purpose ten experts from department of Apparel and Textiles Science Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana were selected through purposively sampling technique. After developed of prototype samples assessment was done and evaluated on the basis of criteria i.e. technique used, suitability of design, texture, colour combinations and overall impact of prototype samples made from shoddy yarn. It was revealed from the data that the judges preferred weaving method of fabric construction for cushion cover; tablemat; carry bag and wall hanging. Maximum judges preferred crochet method of fabric construction for stole and muffler. It was concluded that design of cushion cover a successful innovation with respect of design, colour and combination.
