Development of Thai Textile Products from Bamboo Fiber Fabrics Dyed with Natural Indigo

S. Wannajun and P. Srihanam
The aim of this research was to develop of Thai textile products from natural bamboo fibers fabrics dyed with indigo. Natural indigo dye was applied at four different timing at pH 12 to fabrics prepared from bamboo fibre. All of samples were tested for light, washing and perspiration resistance using ISO 105-B02: 1994, ISO 105-C10: 2006 and ISO 105-E04: 2008, respectively. The results showed that bamboo fibers dyed with indigo resisted light at good level, found slightly of staining on the white fabrics and no change of dye intensity after exposure to sweat. It suggested that the indigo is a good choice for dyeing of bamboo fibers. Many kinds of products including mad-mi, four handles (si-taklo) blanket and turtle flaky shell (kled-tao) fabric can be created from the dyed bamboo fibers.
