UPGRADATION IN PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE YARN DEVELOPED BY THE FUSION OF ORGANIC COTTON & SILK WASTE FIBER

Natural fibers are obtained from plants, animals, minerals and other geological processes. The aim of the study was to develop the yarn with environmental benefit as well as having cost effective material.  In the present study two natural fibers have been taken regarding environmental perspective. organic cotton and silk waste have been blended and developed the yarn with different ratios as 67% silk waste + 33% organic cotton, 33% silk waste + 67% organic cotton, 50% silk waste + 50% organic cotton, 100% silk waste and 100% organic cotton. The fiber was blended to achieve better quality of the fabric with the effective cost management. The yarn was prepared following the process blowing, carding, drawing, roving, and spinning. The yarns were assessed on the basis of yarn count, tenacity, unevenness, thin and thick places and hairiness properties. Study reflects that the yarn with the ratio of 67% silk waste and 33% organic cotton found best result following other ratios of the yarn. The yarn made from blended fiber will be of inexpensive having good properties and environmental welfare as well.
