Abstract :
A traditional technique for colouring textiles,
yarns, or fibres is called "natural dyeing," and it involves
employing dyes made from plants, insects, and minerals.
The usage of this age-old technique predates synthetic
dyes by thousands of years, as documented by numerous
cultures across the globe. In this procedure, colour
compounds are extracted from natural sources and
applied to textiles using a variety of methods, such as
resist dyeing, direct application, or immersion dyeing.
Natural dyes are typically more environmentally friendly
and biodegradable than synthetic ones, which frequently
include harsh chemicals and may have adverse effects on
the environment.
The relationship between natural colouring and
traditional workmanship as well as sustainability is one of
its most alluring features. It encourages a greater respect
for nature and the use of renewable resources. A vast
spectrum of colours can also be produced by natural dyes,
however they might be more delicate and complex than
their synthetic equivalents. Although natural dyeing has
numerous benefits, there are drawbacks as well, including
color fastness, consistency, and the availability of dye
supplies. However, artists and textile aficionados are still
exploring and expanding the potential of natural dyeing
techniques in modern contexts through careful
experimentation, sharing of knowledge, and creativity.
The goal of the current endeavour was to employ the
extract that was previously described in a sustainable
way. Thus, an attempt is made to colour cotton material
at different temperatures utilising alum as a colourant
extract and a mordant. To extract colour, the coconut
husks were soaked and then cooked for half an hour. The
colourant extract and mordants were used to dye the
fabric for an hour at a moderate temperature. Tests were
conducted on the coloured cloth samples to determine
their resistance to light, rubbing, and cleaning. Beneficial
results were found. The study's findings so suggest that
eco-friendly cotton fabric dyeing has a promising future.
