The present paper is the extension of my previous work in which I studied the different physical and mechanical properties of yarn after blending at different ratios and their effect on the properties of the wool. In this section we have done the fabric analysis on basis of apparel and appraisal in mens wear and womens wear. Subjective evaluation of these samples was done to study the developed fabrics for different parameters and end use applications. Evaluation of different parameters such as texture, lusture, tactile sensation and aesthetic appearance was done on a five point scale with scores ranging from 1 for poor to 5 for excellent. Ranking method was used for the subjective evaluation of the end use applications A panel of 30 judges was purposively selected from College of Home Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana to carry out the evaluation. The cost of the developed yarns was calculated on the basis of weight of the yarn manufactured and the cost of the raw fibers, degumming, spinning and weaving, labour and electricity charge. The collected data were coded, tabulated and analysed by using suitable statistical tests.
