Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A research has been taken for commercial use of wool in Bangladesh through yarn and fabrics production with the joint collaboration of BLRI and BJRI. The aims of the research work are to produce blended yarn and fabrics; determine the physical properties of blended yarns and fabrics; Compare the blended properties with respective 100% cotton, jute and woolen properties and increase the diversified use of wool and cotton blended products with small entrepreneur .In this regard 650 kg wool was collected from Goat and Sheep Research Farm of BLRI and also from different sub-station of sheep project. After chemical modification of jute with caustic soda, wool was treated with concentrated sulphuric acid to improve the spinning properties of wool. Jute were cut at different length (1, 1.5 and 2 inch) blended the staple length at cotton. According to standard procedure blended wool, jute and cotton fiber were mixed at different proportions (30:30:40). By using cotton processing system blended yarn was produced. After determination of properties, yarns was used in weaving machine (loom) to produce blended fabrics. Shawals and pant pieces were produced successfully.

Location: Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Manik Miah Avenue, Dhaka

Start Date: 01-07-2014

End Date: 16-06-2015

Program Area: Postharvest and Agro-processing

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

1. To produce blended yarn and fabrics

2. To determine the physical properties of blended yarns and fabrics

3. Compare the blended properties with respective 100% cotton, jute and woolen properties

4. To increase the diversified use of wool and cotton blended products with small entrepreneur

Methodology:

About 650 kg wool was collected from Goat and sheep research farm of BLRI and also different sub-station of sheep project. After chemical modification of jute with caustic soda, wool was treated with concentrated sulphuric acid to improve the spinning properties of wool. Jute was cut at different length (1, 1.5 and 2 inch) blended the staple length at cotton. According to standard procedure blended wool, jute and cotton fiber were mixed at different proportions. By using cotton processing system blended yarn was produced. After determination of the properties, yarns were used in weaving machine (loom) to produce blended fabrics. Shawls and pant pieces were produced successfully.
