Abstract
Cotton fabric was dyed with natural dyes obtained from the stem of Achras sapota and flower of Cordia sebestena. The colour fastness properties and colour strength of dyed cotton fabric were determined and compared. From the comparative study of fastness properties and colour strength of the dyed samples, Cordia sebestena dyed samples in simultaneous mordanting method with 3% mordant combination gives better results as compared to the natural dye obtained from the stem of Achras Sapota.
