ABSTRACT
Hand tufting is the decorative techniques applied on the surface of textiles fabric, in the past, women in Kano Municipal embellished various house hold articles with hand tufting and depended on it for income generation. The extinction of the hand tufting craft resulted to many idle skilled personnel. This research work titled ―Development of Infant Hand Tufted Thermal Insulation Wears in Kano Municipal‖ is a product developmental research that developed three sets of hand tufted infant thermal insulation garments. The products were developed in three degrees of hand tufting densities: all over infant hand tufted thermal insulation set, striped infant hand tufted thermal insulation set and appliqué worked overall infant hand tufted thermal insulation set. The objectives of the research were to determine the mean rating of mothers on comfortability, textural preferences, aesthetic preferences and acceptability of the products by mothers in Kano Municipal. The research was conducted in phases, phase 1 involved selection and testing of yarn, phase two is the developmental phase and phase three contained collection of data. 1-9 points’ hedonic scale served as an instrument for data collection on mothers views administered to 30 sampled women that attended infant immunization in three primary health care units in Kano Municipal. The data was analyzed by mean and standard deviation while hypotheses were analysed by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings revealed that white coloured all over hand tufted set had the high mean rating of mothers on comfortability and considered as the most comfortable to infant from birth-1year. Striped ash and cream coloured set had high mean rating of mothers and had most preferred texture. Golden coloured appliqué overall set was the most aesthetic set and the most acceptable to mother’s rating in Kano Municipal. Four null hypotheses were tested by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at Alpha value of 0.05 level of significance showed that The P values of the entire four tested hypotheses were more than 0.05points, thus; the results were as follows: comfortability P = 0.49, texture P = 0.22, decoration P = .08 xvii and acceptability P = .23. Based on these results, all the hypotheses were retained and concluded that there was no significant difference in the comfortability, textural preferences aesthetic preferences and acceptability of the developed infant hand tufted thermal insulation wears. All the developed garments were cherished and accepted by mothers in Kano municipal meeting the high level of comfortability, textural preferences aesthetic preferences and acceptability as the mean rating of all the variables tested were above 5.00 points. This showed that all the products will be equally acceptable and sold if produced for market consumption in Kano Municipal and elsewhere. The research recommended that hand tufting should be incorporated in the curriculum of vocational and entrepreneur courses in all levels of education.
