Abstract: Present study was done to explore the properties of sisal-cotton union fabrics developed in handloom and power loom. Cotton yarn of 2/20 used as warp and sisal-cotton blended yarn of 12s count used as weft. Ratio for blended yarn (sisal:cotton) was taken as 35:65. Union fabrics were developed in three weaves i.e., plain, basket and twill and analysed for their physical and mechanical properties. The developed union fabric samples were shown to a panel of ten judges consisting of industrial person, interior designer and the professional from Apparel and Textile Department and Family Resource andManagement department and preferences were taken for smoothness, softness, surface texture, uniformity, aesthetic appearance and tactile sensation. On the bases of these properties preferences were taken for product development. Handloom twill weave found to be best for its smoothness and handloom plain weave for tactile sensation. So, it can be used in upholstery, home textiles and in some parts of garments using lining.
