All rights reserved.This work involves use of domestic and industrial wastes as natural dyes in textile design to create a garment collection through industrial collaboration. Colouring and patterning of the wool, cotton, polyamide, cotton/polyamide blend fabrics were carried out by applying various resist dyeing techniques with organic wastes such as almond shell, prina, banana peel, rosemary, faba bean peel, onion skin, walnut shell, artichoke, pomegranate peel and environmentally friendly metal salts such as alum[KAl(SO4)2 12H2 O], iron II sulfate (FeSO4 7H2 O) and biomordants. Washing and rubbing fastness of dyed samples are excellent (4/5). Some suggestions for accurate application of natural dyes in industrial mass production were also presented and significance of natural dyes in creative and sustainable textile design has been noted.
