Abstract
In the present study, the root extract of Rheum emodi (Indian Rhubarb/Dolu/Revandchini) has been used as a natural dye to develop a variety of harmonizing natural shades on woolen yarn using combination of ecofriendly mixed metal mordants. Dyeings were carried out in neutral acidic, and alkaline medium using 0.5%–5% dye concentrations pre-treated with (4.5% iron + 0.1% tin), (2.5% iron + 0.5% tin), and (0.5% iron + 0.9% tin) mordant combinations. A total of 54 shades have been developed by varying the amount of dye and percentage combination of mordants. The hue of color ranged from reddish-brown, greenish-yellow to dark yellow. The color of dyed woolen yarns was investigated in terms of color strength (K/S), CIELab, CIELch values. Fastness properties (light, washing, and rub/crocking) of dyed woolen yarn samples were also assessed.
