Abstract | ||||
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause skin damage including sunburn, blistering, skin ageing and in the long term can lead to skin cancer. Natural dyeing plays an important role to imparting new functional properties (Ultraviolet protection) into the dyed substrate. In this research wool fabric dyeing with Rhine-M, Pacific, Thar, Kango and Basant natural dyes and evaluated ultraviolet radiation in terms of ultraviolet protection factor values which give excellent values. Color strength (K/S) was investigated and gives high values. The fastness properties of dyed wool fabric against washing, light, and perspiration were evaluated and the result show very good values. Physico mechanical was investigated and there is no negative effect on them. Fashionable five designs were created for women clothes using natural dyed fabric, which has ultraviolet protection properties. Tie and dye technique was used to dyed designs. Add aesthetics value by using stitching, drawing and embroidery. | ||||
