Abstract
The use of agricultural waste is becoming more common with the spread of awareness of sustainable life. In the present study, different concentrations (10 gr/L, 15 gr/L, 20 gr/L) of aqueous extracts were obtained from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) leaves as agricultural waste and fabrics containing 100% wool were coloured with these extracts by using infra-red dyeing machine. Aluminium, iron and copper based mordants, which are frequently used in natural dyeing, were added to the extracts. After dyeing process, colours in alluring brown, green and yellow tones were obtained in the fabrics. According to the spectrophotometer measurements, colour yield (K/S) of the samples increased proportionally with increasing concentrations. Washing and rubbing fastness of the dyed wool samples were good, except for the samples dyed with iron-based mordant added extract.
