Abstract
Lagurus ovatus (hare tail grass) is a winter season grass which is utilized in dry flower industry in preparation of various types of value-added products like flower arrangements, hangers, wall pictures etc. Different dyes like Fabric dyes, indicator dyes, food dyes and bio-colours were used for colouring this grass. Findings revealed that among four different categories of dyes fabric dyes i.e. Yellow, Dark green, Violet, Magenta Pink and indicator dyes Brilliant Green, Eosin Yellow and Crystal Violet were the excellent in performance for dyeing of Lagurus ovatus in terms of colour intensity and colour absorption. These dyes scored maximum for quality parameters even after ten months of storage. Quality parameters in case of food dyes were medium to high at the time of dyeing but the colours faded very fast and retention was not good after ten months. Out of the bio-colours; dyeing with turmeric and lilium pollen were quite satisfactory, whereas other colours like henna powder, gulmehndi (wild henna), coffee, butea, punica, beet root were very poor in performance.
