DYEING OF WOOLLEN FABRIC PRE-TREATED WITH TIN CHLORIDE USING YELLOW BLOSSOMS
Keywords:
natural dyes, dandelion, forsythia, tin chloride, fastness, woolAbstract
Woollen fabrics pre-treated with tin chloride were dyed using yellow blossoms from various plants in order to compare their colour and fastness. The influence of tin chloride on wool was studied and its concentration was optimized for the wool mordanting. Woollen fabrics dyed with yellow blossoms of broom, forsythia, rapeseed and dandelions had the highest saturation of yellow colour with an exceptionally brilliant shade and outstanding fastness properties. Given the size of the blossoms, their wide availability, long flowering period and complete harmlessness, we recommend the dandelion as the most appropriate source of the yellow dye for the natural dyeing of woollen fabrics.
