Abstract: |
A study was conducted at Swine and Avian Research Programme, Khumaltar to evaluate the quality of products by mixing the Angorn wool with other fibers in different proportion . Angora wool was blended with cotton, silk, Pashmina, yak wool and Allo in 50% combination. The fabric was also blended with 33% Angora wool, 33% cotton, 33% Pashmina and 33% yak wool. The carding of fiber was done by machine. Spinning was done manually with the help of foot operated wooden spindles and weaving was done with the help of handlooms. The products were evaluated on the basis of number of fiber sheds in one strong touch. It was found that the shedding effects of shawls made from 50% Allo and 50% Angora rabbit wool was significantly lower as compared to shawls made from 100% Angora wool and other four different combinations. Similarly, shedding effects of shawls on cotton system (100% cotton clothes) was found significantly lower as compared to woolen system (100% woolen cloths). |
