The present study investigates tactile, thermal, physiological comfort, and hand values of newly developed mulberry silk waste/wool blended fabrics for end use. Intimate blended fabrics S ₁ (65s/35w, 2/33 × 33 tex) and S ₂ (65s/35w, 2/25 × 25 tex) had higher resilience as well as warpwise extensibility, whereas union-blended fabrics S ₃ (100w × 65s/35w, 2/33 × 33 tex) and S ₄ (100w × 65s/35w, 2/25 × 25 tex) had high bending hysteresis, high tensile energy, lower coefficient of friction, and less geometric roughness. S ₁, S ₂, and S ₄ fabrics exhibited higher transmission properties against air and moisture vapor whereas S ₃ fabric showed superior thermal insulation properties. S ₁ found significantly different (p ≤ .05) from S ₂ in terms of smoothness, uniformity, and aesthetic appearance. Total hand value of developed fabrics showed its suitablilty for women’s light weight winter dress material and suitings, whereas union-blended fabrics were suitable for men’s winter suitings. Stoles, mufflers, throws, and khes (bed covering) were the most suitable end uses in terms of intimate blended fabrics while shawls, lohis (gents shawl) mufflers, and khes were the most suitable end uses of union-blended fabrics.
