Abstract
ABSTRACTDyeing properties of ethanol and water extracts of 16 plants species growing in Turkish flora on wool fibers were examined using K3Al(SO4)2, CuSO4, and FeSO4 mordents. The dyeing performances of plant extracts were evaluated with color strength (K/S), washing fastness, and light fastness measurements of dyed fibers. The color names and color codes of dyed fibers were also determined according to Pantone TPX color guide. The naturally colored wool yarns exhibited 3.19–27.82 of color strength (K/S) and light (rating 3–5) and washing fastness (rating 4–5) properties. The present results show that colors such as brown, gray, khaki, beige known as critical colors in textiles were easily achieved by natural dyes.
