- Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to revive the age old art of dyeing with natural dyes from roots of Polygonum amplexicaule. P. amplexicaule belongs to family Polygonaceae commonly known as 'anjabar'. The roots were dried under shade and pulversied to powder farm. The powdered material was subjected to hot and cold percolation. The silk sample was scoured with detergent to remove fatty impurities, washed with water and dried under shade. A number of metallic and natural mordants were used for pra-mordanting before dyeing silk fabric. These were Ferrous sulphate, copper sulphate, Alum, Stannous Chloride, Potassium dichromate, Amla, Katha, Anar, Arjun Ki Chaal, Bahera and Harda. The fastness results of all metallic mordants were very good towards washing and sunlight except stannous chloride along with deep bright and intense shades. The shades obtained with natural mordants ie. Amla and katha were also found very encouraging.
