ABSTRACT: 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.
