As nations become more
conscious of the toxicity of synthetic dyes that are hazardous to the
environment and human health, there is an increasing interest in natural dyes
in the dyeing of textiles industry. Several opportunities have been to use biobased plant-derived colorants
to develop sustainable textile dyeing processes. Applying gall oak and
pine cone extract as bio-mordants and madder (Rubia tinctorum L.) as a natural dye, a sustainable dyeing
procedure was created. Bio-mordanted wool fabrics at the rates of 3%, 5%, and 10%
were dyed with madder. The influence of bio-mordants versus metal mordants
(such as alum and iron sulfate) for color measurement and color fastness of a
natural dye extract on wool fabrics was investigated. After the dyeing process,
the color of each dyed wool fabric was investigated in terms of the CIELAB (L*,
a*, and b*) values. The K/S values of wool fabrics that had been dyed were
measured and qualities including wash and rubbing fastnesses were determined
using ISO standard methods.
