Dyeing of cotton fabric with turmeric (Curcuma longa) extract solution is an experimental dyeing method here. In this paper, we are trying to give a comparative study about the color fastness properties of turmeric dyed knit fabrics specifically color fastness to wash, water, perspiration, rubbing and saliva. Dyeing processes were completed by a common method for cotton fabrics and being compared with and without mordant. All experiments were performed according to ISO standard. We found that mordant can enhance the color fastness properties of cotton fabrics dyed with turmeric extract, comparatively better than without mordant. We also seek possibility of applying natural dyes with other synthetic dyes by experimental results.

Abstract
Dyeing of cotton fabric with turmeric (Curcuma longa) extract solution is an experimental dyeing method here. In this paper, we are trying to give a comparative study about the color fastness properties of turmeric dyed knit fabrics specifically color fastness to wash, water, perspiration, rubbing and saliva. Dyeing processes were completed by a common method for cotton fabrics and being compared with and without mordant. All experiments were performed according to ISO standard. We found that mordant can enhance the color fastness properties of cotton fabrics dyed with turmeric extract, comparatively better than without mordant. We also seek possibility of applying natural dyes with other synthetic dyes by experimental results.
