Abstract

Due to eco-friendliness of natural dyes and the awareness among people regarding the environmental and health hazards associated with the use of synthetic dyes, the craze for the clothing dyed with natural dye is increasing day by day. The aim of the work is to produce a variety of shades on the cotton fabric by using spinach leaves waste and pineapple skin with different types of mordent such as copper sulphate and ferrous sulphate. The colour fastness properties of dyed materials have also analyzed. After assessment of colour fastness, it was found satisfactory in some cases and improved in many cases. As spinach and pineapple is available and cheap, it will be convenient to produce unique shades of cotton fabrics, and to produce trendy and fashionable garments.
