Abstract: In this study, the effect of various modal: wool blend ratios on yarn count and plain weave fabric parameters are analyzed. The blends analyzed consist of 100% wool, 70: Seven fabrics were prepared using wool-modal, 50:50 wool-modal, 30:70 wool-modal and 100% modal blended yarns with three counts, 20 Ne, 30 Ne and 40 Ne each. The aim is to assess properties of fabric including but not limited to stretchiness, tensile strength, elongation and air permeability and, if so, how adjusted blend and yarn count might impact the result. The results of research reveal that performance of fabric gives dissimilar outcomes depending on wo/ modal ratio. Fabrics produced from 50: The 50; 70 blends had shown higher tensile strength and air permeability than those fabrics fabricated from 100% wool or modal. Notably, the 70: Another interesting feature of 30 blend was that the optimum balance of softness and strength was attained, and it was ideal for application areas that require both properties, to the maximum extent. However, the degree of fabric irregularity came out to be highly dependent on yarn count; the finer yarn-count fabrics (30 Ne & 40 Ne yarn-count) also had low irregularity and high elongation. In the light of the above findings, it is concluded that both blend ratio and yarn count should be well needed to achieve the required fabric properties. This work offers significant recommendations to the textile industry, especially to those producers interested in developing fabrics based on wool and models having the mentioned benefits. Finally, this study helps to progress the development of eco-friendly textile options relevant to the apparel and fashion industries’ many sectors, including garments and fabrics. The purpose for undertaking this study was to assess fabric variations as resulting from changes in blend ratios and thread counts with the aim of establishing the optimum blend and thread count combination to produce fabrics with certain stipulated indicators like softness, strength and air permeability desirable in a particular application.

Abstract: Intelligence has been used in various fields worldwide, and many studies have emerged related to artificial intelligence and its effective and essential role in the field of ready-made clothing in all its various stages, This research aims in general to study and analyze one of the most important applications of artificial intelligence, which is (Leonardo.AI), and to benefit from it in the field of designing occasion clothes inspired by the Fatimid era. The importance of the research lies in presenting an analytical study of one of the most important applications of artificial intelligence (Leonardo.AI) - enriching the local market with designs for occasion clothes inspired by the Fatimid era using one of the most important applications of artificial intelligence - enriching the field of fashion design and the digital library with a study linking it to one of the most important applications of artificial intelligence (Leonardo. AI). The result of this research: There are no statistically significant differences between the averages of the opinions of the arbitrators on the designs in employing the elements and foundations of the proposed design for occasion clothes inspired by the Fatimid era using the artificial intelligence application, and between the averages of the opinions of the arbitrators on the designs In the aesthetic aspect of the proposed design of occasion clothes inspired by the Fatimid era using the artificial intelligence application, between the average opinions of the arbitrators on the designs in the functional aspect of the proposed designs for occasion clothes inspired by the Fatimid era using the artificial intelligence application, and between the average opinions of consumers on the designs in the proposed designs for occasion clothes inspired by the Fatimid era using the artificial intelligence application.
