With the growing importance and popularity of concepts like green, eco-friendly, sustainability, etc. natural dyes seems to have become an obvious choice for enlightened producers and consumers of textiles. There is a great demand for natural dyed products in foreign countries as well as in India. Cotton fabric dyed with natural dyes in soft and subdued shades with traditional designs creates a fashion statement. In this view the present research work has been taken on standardization of dyeing process for cotton with natural dye extracted from mulethi (Glycyrrhiza glabra).

Abstract


With the growing importance and popularity of concepts like green, eco-friendly, sustainability, etc. natural dyes seems to have become an obvious choice for enlightened producers and consumers of textiles. There is a great demand for natural dyed products in foreign countries as well as in India. Cotton fabric dyed with natural dyes in soft and subdued shades with traditional designs creates a fashion statement. In this view the present research work has been taken on standardization of dyeing process for cotton with natural dye extracted from mulethi (Glycyrrhiza glabra).
