In recent years, intensive research has been
conducted on natural dyes, which have been rediscovered as a result of the
search for sustainable, environmentally friendly dyes that do not harm the
environment or humans in the coloring of textile materials. In this study,
rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) was used
as a natural dye source for the dyeing of woolen fabrics. Rosemary has a
needle-like structure and is generally used for medicinal purposes, as a spice,
and as an ornamental plant. The rosemary plant used as the dye was dried and
ground. The dyeing process was carried out at 95°C for 1 hour using FeSO₄ and
CuSO₄ metal salts, or a combination of these, as mordants. After dyeing, a
"warm wash-soap wash-warm wash-rinse" process was applied, and then
it was dried at room temperature. Khaki, brown, and beige hues were obtained.
The CIE L*a*b* color values and K/S values of the colored samples were
determined using Konica Minolta spectrophotometry. In addition, the washing and
rubbing fastness values of the dyed samples were tested, and a score of 4-5
was obtained. As a result, acceptable color tones and fastness tests were
achieved for the dyed samples.
