Jamdani weaving is one of the oldest heredities of Bangladesh. From the beginning 100% cotton yarn was used to produce high quality jamdani saree. The weavers were the finest with weaving skills. Higher yarn count yarns were used to weave the jamdani saree. In course of time at present manmade fibres are also used to produce jamdani saree. The use of filament yarn may have eased the manufacturing difficulties, but the jamdani saree is missing its originality without 100% cotton. In this project, random jamdani saree sample was collected to identify the fibre composition. Samples of filament were also collected from the manufacturer and tested. It was evident that instead of cotton yarn in warp and weft silk and polyester filament yarn were used.
