Textile CAD Analysis forWarp and Weft Patterning by Shariful Islam* in Trends in Textile Engineering& Fashion Technology The aim of this paper is to do patterning in both warp and weft direction against computer aided design for a woven fabric. Patter design is given by the buyer to the fabric manufacturer to make a yarn dyed fabric where the original design or color patter will be reflected in the fabric that will be made. How many yarns will be needed in warp direction and how many yarns will be needed in weft direction that is also shown in this project. This project work is not only a paper work but also a practical solution for the textile learners, designers, fabric developer and also to many textile experts. Textile design CAD contains, the pattern design of the fabric, that is given by the buyer, to the fabric manufacturer, to produce a fabric, where in fabric, will have the actual and exact appearance and look, as like as the CAD. Textile patterning CAD analysis i...

Development of SustainableTextiles from Kenaf-Cotton Blended Yarn by Ramakrishna G* in  Trends in Textile Engineering & Fashion Technology In the recent years, developing new yarn is the fundamental phenomenon for technical textiles. Different yarns are required now days for both technical as well as for aesthetic properties. Kenaf has good antimicrobial, fire resistance and absorbency that can be utilized in various textiles needed for society. The Kenaf cotton blended yarn of 50%-50% was produced through rotor spinning and was spun into 10Ne count. The quality was evaluated for yarn strength, yarn elongation, evenness and hairiness. The quality parameters of kenaf-cotton blended yarn were compared to 100% cotton yarn. The results reveal that the kenaf-cotton blended yarn were in comparable quality with 100% cotton and can be made into fabrics of different weave structures and can be utilized for various potential applications like home textiles and medical textiles f...
