In this paper, the weft backed fabric has been woven on power loom by using 2/60~s white Eri spun silk yarn in warp and 2/20~s white Eri spun silk yarn in the weft. The fabric has been raised from mechanical raising machine. Both the fabric i.e. raw as well as raised fabrics have been tested for various low stress mechanical and surface properties as per international standard testing methods and Handle values have been evolved. Results have been compared as per the requirement of industry. From the study it is found that after raising of fabric the fabric becomes, smooth, springy, bulky flexible, warmth, lighter and is more comfortable in summer as well as winter
