The project of design and development of textile product using wrap yarn printing with natural dyes by silk screen technique. The purpose of this study was to find out the silk screen printing technique for patterning on Ikat or Mud Mee textile. Due to the complicated Mud Mee process for patterning the design on Mud Mee textile silk screen printing was chosen because of its convenience and rapidity. Silk screen printed on warp yarn with dyed weft yarn created the plain weave pattern. Pattern design was inspired by the natural form of vortex. Such form was applied with silk screen printing technique with extract of natural dye from jackfruit heartwood. The research showed that the product interested the sample was home textile product by using for bedroom which designed using home textile design principle. Three tone of color were chosen for warp yarn by screen printing technique such as red colour from lac blue colour from natural indigo and yellow colour from jackfruit heartwood . Weft yarn were dyed with lac and natural indigo using cationic agent. The cationic agent using before mordanting along with dying by 5 g/l aluminum potassium sulfate (alum) which is the best result because the outcome colors were intense and bright like vermilion and natural indigo. The color extracted from jackfruit heartwood was used for silk screen printing process. Color extracted from jackfruit heartwoodwas in the form of powder color integrated with 4% sodium alginate. The viscosity was optimize for printing. Printed warp yarn was dried at 120 °C. Weaving in plain weave pattern which created the strength structure of textile. Mordants with alum showed bright and intense color. The fastness tests were at good to excellent level for producing home textile product for bedroom application. From the questionnaire it was found that the satisfaction of the sample were as follows 54% printing fabric by printing of warp yarn is similar to Mud Mee weaving 58% textile made by printed warp yarn showed the identity of Thai color tone using for printing 80% weaving pattern design inspired by the form of vortex was suitable 84 % plain textile was suitable for weaving in the form of vortex 64 % the composition of the whole pattern of the products was suitable 86% the color of the pattern was suitable 70% the color of the weft yarn was suitable with the color of the pattern 76 % the size of the products was fitting and 92 % the products were suitable for the purpose of using.

A study on developing textile products from fiber lemongrass has been carried out aimed at processing yarn from lemongrass fiber developing textile fabrics such as clothing hats and shoes and teaching product design and technology to a community. Lemongrass leaves were processed with chemicals to produce a fiber lemongrass then spun to 100% lemongrass yarn with large unsmooth surfaces the used to produce handbag hats and shoes. However for garment fabrics the researchers developed the lemongrass yarn for weaving by mixing cotton in a 60:40 ratio to produce hand-woven cloth. Using hand-woven folk wisdom the Takfa community in Nakhon Sawan produced natural dyes from Bengal Almond leaves a performed surface finishing for a smoother touch. After weaving lemongrass fiber cloth gives off a lemongrass odor but this fades gradually. The physical properties of lemongrass fiber cloth are then tested for strength resistance and abrasion. Processing lemongrass cloth fiber to textile products enables us to produce various products such as clothes bags and hats. In passing technology to the community the residents recognized the advantages and benefits of using the fabric. Further research should investigate mixing lemongrass fibers with other natural fibers improved fiber durability luster of the fiber to increase fiber value or using lemongrass fiber for household products.
