Abstract
The study envisages on the development of shades on woollen yarn with henna (Lawsonia inermis) as natural dye using alum and ferrous sulphate as mordants. Fifty four shades were developed by varying the amounts of mordants and dyes. The colour measurements and colour fastness properties with respect to light exposure, washing and rubbing (dry and wet) have been investigated. The hue of colour ranges from orange-brown to yellow. Deepest shades have been found with alum mordanted samples followed by ferrous sulphate and un-mordanted woollen yarn samples. The colour strength (K/S) has been found to be very good in dyed woollen yarn samples mordanted with alum.
