dc.description.abstract	In this study three starches viz, potato, corn and cassava have been comparatively studied for their performance on sized 34 Nm Ring spun yarn. The properties of the constructed fabric in terms of tensile strength and elongation, abrasion resistance, stiffness character, fabric thickness, size removal percentage after desizing and End breakage rate on the loom was observed to check the weaving efficiency. From the test analysis, it was clear that the cassava starch was showing overall better performance followed by potato and corn starches.	en_US
