Abstract
This study will mainly focus on the development and acceptability of extracted fiber from Adam’s needle plant, specifically from its spiked leaves, as a vegan textile. This groundbreaking study aims to revolutionize the fashion and textile sectors by investigating the potential of this plant’s fiber through the project development method. Three groups were selected using the purposive sampling technique by choosing members of the industry to participate in our surveys, which included 5 garment faculty/instructors, 15 Regional Yarn Production and Innovation Center (RYPIC) staff, and 5 loom weavers/textile experts, for a total of 25 respondents. The describe-method of research was used with the sets of questionnaire-checklists supplemented by unstructured interviews and observations as the gathering instrument. A five-point Likert rating scale was used to determine the descriptive meaning of the indicators of the variables used. The weighted mean was also utilized to determine the general acceptability of Adam’s needle fiber. Here is the summary of the level of acceptability of yarn, which has an overall mean of 4.38 for faculty members, an overall mean of 4.24 for weavers and experts, and an overall mean of 4.20 for the RYPIC. According to the evaluation results, indicating that Adam’s needle (yucca filamentosa yarn) is “moderately acceptable," it passed the evaluation of the three groups of respondents in terms of appearance, texture, and durability.
