It was found that Telanthera ficoidea dye can be successfully used on mulberry silk fabric. The colour/shade obtained after the dyeing with mordant alum were cream, mid cream and with tea were dark brown, stone brown, golden brown and copper brown. Dye extracted in acidic medium and using tea as mordant for either pre, simultaneous and post-mordanting showed an increase in count, weight and thickness of mulberry silk fabric. Telanthera ficoidea dye offered even penetration to the fabric.

Abstract


It was found that Telanthera ficoidea dye can be successfully used on mulberry silk fabric. The colour/shade obtained after the dyeing with mordant alum were cream, mid cream and with tea were dark brown, stone brown, golden brown and copper brown. Dye extracted in acidic medium and using tea as mordant for either pre, simultaneous and post-mordanting showed an increase in count, weight and thickness of mulberry silk fabric. Telanthera ficoidea dye offered even penetration to the fabric.
