Abstract (Original Language):
The main purpose of this study was to degum, bleach and dye raw Eri silk and
raw Tussar silk with acid dyes and compare the characteristic properties such as
geometric, durability and comfort properties of eri silk and Tussar silk. The geometric
properties were also assessed like the fabric count, fabric weight and fabric thickness.
The tests to evaluate the durability and comfort properties were done by subjecting the
samples to breaking strength, abrasion resistance, elongation, wicking, bending length,
flexural rigidity, crease recovery and drapability. In the case of fabric count, fabric
weight and fabric thickness, there was an increase in the values of the dyed samples than
the control samples. It was found that Eri silk showed good performance with respect to
breaking strength, abrasion resistance, elongation, wicking, bending length, flexural
rigidity, crease recovery and drapability thus proving better to durability and comfort
properties.
