This research aims to utilize synthetic wool fiber remnants with varying twists—one of the increasing types of textile waste in factories and workshops whose accumulation harms the environment—by recycling them to produce innovative woven wall hangings using a simple loom. The study seeks to achieve environmental sustainability by reducing textile waste and transforming these residues into products that possess both aesthetic and functional value. A total of 12 woven wall hangings were produced by integrating recycled synthetic wool fibers through simple weaving techniques. These wall hangings were evaluated by experts in the fields of apparel and textiles according to design, functionality, aesthetics, and environmental aspects. The research followed the (descriptive analytical, quasi-experimental, experimental) methods. The results showed the possibility of recycling the remains of synthetic wool threads to produce textile pendants acceptable to the specialized arbitrators. The results showed that the best product according to the arbitrators' opinions in achieving the design aspect is pendant (2) and the least product in achieving the design aspect was pendant (5); also the best product in achieving the functional aspect is pendant (12) and the least product in achieving the functional aspect is pendant (1); while the best product in achieving the aesthetic aspect is pendant (2) and the least product in achieving the aesthetic aspect is pendant (5); while the best product in achieving the environmental aspect was pendant (3) and the least product in achieving the environmental aspect was pendant (11); it was also noted that the best product in achieving the evaluation aspects (as a whole) was pendant (2) and the least product in achieving the evaluation aspects (as a whole) was pendant (1).
