Traditional Naala making craft of Punjab is on the verge of varnishing. Thus, an effort was made to study opinion of clothing and textile experts for diversification of the craft. Total twenty eight designs comprising of four designs for each of seven most preferred products by college -girls were sketched. Product-wise preferences with respect to designs, motifs, yarns, colours were taken from a panel of randomly selected ten judges comprising of faculty and postgraduate students from Department of Apparel and Textile Science. Among the four designs of shrugs (A), first rank was given to A3 (mean score 2.8). Design L1 comb (Kanghi) for cap and design L2 (plain) for bolster got first rank with equal mean score 7.56. Design L3 lozenges (Burfi) for cushion cover, design L4 square (Dabbiyan) for skirt and design L5 holes (Moriyaan) for shrug obtained first rank with mean score 7.11 and 5.3, respectively. First rank was given to design F6 of a bag with mean score 6.3 and design F1 for footwear with mean score 6.5. First rank was given to yarn Y2 for shrug with mean score 11.2, yarn Y3 for bag (mean score 10.4).

Abstract


Traditional Naala making craft of Punjab is on the verge of varnishing. Thus, an effort was made to study opinion of clothing and textile experts for diversification of the craft. Total twenty eight designs comprising of four designs for each of seven most preferred products by college -girls were sketched. Product-wise preferences with respect to designs, motifs, yarns, colours were taken from a panel of randomly selected ten judges comprising of faculty and postgraduate students from Department of Apparel and Textile Science. Among the four designs of shrugs (A), first rank was given to A3 (mean score 2.8). Design L1 comb (Kanghi) for cap and design L2 (plain) for bolster got first rank with equal mean score 7.56. Design L3 lozenges (Burfi) for cushion cover, design L4 square (Dabbiyan) for skirt and design L5 holes (Moriyaan) for shrug obtained first rank with mean score 7.11 and 5.3, respectively. First rank was given to design F6 of a bag with mean score 6.3 and design F1 for footwear with mean score 6.5. First rank was given to yarn Y2 for shrug with mean score 11.2, yarn Y3 for bag (mean score 10.4). Out of twenty eight developed designs of products, seven most preferred designs of products were prepared through naala making technique.
