A large quantity of pineapple leaves have been abandoned after Thai agriculturists actually harvests pineapples which the leaves have many beneficial fibres for Textile industry. Additionally, the waste yarns (Pre-consumer textile waste) should be recycled because of their sufficient properties. Therefore, these issues became the development of the new mixed yarns and the fabrics in my project. The mixed yarns (Grey colours) between the pineapple fibres and the waste yarns such as cotton, wool, acrylic, polyester, and viscose were not be bleached and dyed because I needed to reduce chemical production in the textile industry. My experiment about the different proportions of the mixed yarns led to the appropriate properties for producing Interior textiles and Fashion. The fabrics have been produced with weaving techniques in order to find different patterns and textures from the inspiration of bark and mosses. Their durability and stickiness from different proportions of the mixed yarns can be the warp and the weft yarn with Dobby loom and some suitable proportions can also be woven to be the weft yarn with Jacquard Single cloth and Jacquard Double cloth from Digtal Jacquard loom. In my project, the important production of products from the mixed yarns is the Closed-loop recycling which it is a sustainable way for my fabrics and eco-innovative products. instagram : ma_lookbook
