Abstract
The importance of natural dyes in our lives was lost in lieu of synthetic dyes. However, the harsh impact of synthetic dyes on human and the environment had led to the resurgence of natural dyes. Natural dyes show harmony with the environment. Unlike synthetic dyes which have carcinogenic effect on human and cause ample environmental pollution, natural dyes safe for human use and are non-hazardous to the environment. Seeking the benefits of these dyes in the living system, a research was planned to identify dye yielding plants and utilizing them for dyeing textiles which were made from natural fibres. The dyes were extracted in different pH and the dyed fabrics were assessed for their colour strength value, fastness to washing and sunlight to see the performance of dyes. It was found that the used plant sources can be utilized in textile dyeing. It was suggested that their performance can be improved by using different auxiliaries.
