Özet

Natural dyes, rediscovered in the quest for sustainable and eco-friendly colouring agents that pose no harm to individuals or the environment in textile applications, have undergone substantial research in recent years. In this study, both marshmallow (Althaea officinalis L.) and blackberry (Rubus plicatus) branches were selected as natural dyestuff sources in the dyeing processes of linen fabric. Plants that had been dried and pulverised were introduced straight to the dye solution during the dyeing process. FeSO₄.7H₂O was used as an environmentally friendly mordant agent to increase colour yield and fastness values ​​in the dyeing process. The dyeing and mordanting procedures were completed simultaneously. The dyeing process began at room temperature and ended at 100°C for 60 minutes. Following cold washing, hot soap washing (1 g/L soap), and hot and cold washing procedures, the dyed samples were dried at room temperature. Color (K/S and CIE L*a*b*) values ​​of the painted samples were measured with a Konica Minolta 3600 d spectrophotometer. In addition, washing, rubbing, sweat and light colour fastness tests were performed on the samples, and the results were determined to be in the 4-5 point range. As a result, the dyed samples were determined to have acceptable colour tones and passed the colour fastness tests.
