Enzyme pretreatment is a recent development in textile processing which has been found to improve the product qualities in respect of softness, luster, dye absorption and improve dimensional stability and comfort. Most of the research work on enzyme treatment is limited to fine Australian /New Zealand wool However the work on the effectiveness of enzyme pretreatment on Indian wool is not only scanty but not available. To study the effect of enzyme pretreatment on physio-chemical and mechanical properties of
carpet woolen yarn made from Indian wool in terms of dye ability, whiteness index and tensile strength a work is conducted based on Box-Benkhen experimental design.
