Description |
The purpose of the study was to compare the aesthetic and serviceability characteristics of parchmentized linen and cotton. The study was undertaken as following . . Seven meters each of unfinished cotton and linen were procured and two meters from each was kept aside as control and the remaining (Jive metres were parchmentized. Twelve standard sized midies were stitched for the age groups of 14-16 years. Then 8 midies were given to wear for eight hours a day to subjects who had similar activity. After each wear, the midies were laundered using standard laundering procedure. Waar and laundering cycle continued upto 10 and 20 levels of launderings. Aesthetic and serviceability characteristics were assessed for unlaundered midies and for midies laundered at different levels of laundering after parchmentization for both linen and cotton . The results of subjective evaluation showed that parchmentized linen had better drape, stiffness, lustre, transparency, hand and wrinkling property than unparchmentized linen and also than parchmentized cotton and unparchmentized cotton. Majority of the consumers preferred parchmentized linen as the first order of preference followed by unparchmentized linen, unparchmentized cotton and parchmentized cotton. When ascertained about suitability of the materials for various garments, it was found that both parchmentized linen and cotton and unparchmentized linen and cotton were all suitable as dress materials specially for ' wai~t coat~ midie, skirt, jacket and school uniform. The findings of laboratory tests revealed that parchmentized linen was superior in its performance to repeated launderings than unparchmentized linen and also than unparchmentized cotton and parchmentized cotton in unlaundered condition as well as at different levels of launderings. Therefore it can be expected to serve better even in use. The cost difference between parchmentized linen and parchmentized cotton was calculated. Since the parchmentization was similar for both cotton and linen, there was difference only in the raw material cost of cotton and linen. Parchmentized linen had taken up brighter shade of colour than parchmentized cotton and also than unparchmentized linen and cotton. Unparchmentized linen and cotton and also parchmentized linen and cotton when block printed showed similar affinity for dyes. |
