dc.description.abstractThis study was carried out to determine the acceptability of adapted traditional ‘Aso-Oke’ in constructing garments for contemporary youths in Oyo-state, Nigeria. Four objectives were stated which were to use fine industrial yarn to produce ‘Aso-Oke’ fabric in a way to reduce weight. The use of fine industrial yarn to produce ‘Aso-Oke’ fabric in a way to improve the texture (feelings). Adapt the produced ‘Aso-Oke’ to make garments for contemporary use, lastly to determine the level of acceptability of the produced ‘Aso-Oke’ fabric for special occasion among the youth in Oyo state. The research was also guided by four research questions and four null hypotheses. Experimental research design was used for the study. The population for the study comprises of all students of Federal College of Education (special), Oyo and Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, Oyo. Total of 47640 students and a sample of 30 respondents were randomly selected by proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Hedonic card seeking for observation of respondents on appearance, texture and weight of the articles produced was used to collect data for the study. Descriptive statistics was used, mean were used to answer research questions, while Analysis t-test were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that six plies of yarn used for warp and six plies of yarn used for weft of the conventional ‘Aso-Oke’ fabric escalated the weight and this brought about the heaviness, making the fabric uncomfortable to the weaver. In view of the findings, it was concluded that reduction in yarn count, using two plies for warp and four plies for weft with plain weave had dropped the weight of adapted ‘Aso-oke’ and it was accepted. Base on the findings of the study, it was recommended that yarn counts should be reduced to two andfour plies and plain weave should be used while weaving ‘Aso-Oke’ to reduce the weight and improve the texture for acceptability.en_US
