In the present study colour extracted from Bidens pilosa was utilized for block and screen printing of cotton fabric. B. pilosa is a small bush, abundantly found as a weed so an attempt was made to extract colour from this weed and utilize for natural printing. As thickener is a basic requirement for printing of any basic fabric so mango seed starch was used as natural thickener. To enhance printing impact on fabric, ferrous sulphate and stannous chloride were used as mordant and it was observed that mordant enhanced the dye/colour penetration and fixation. Good colour fastness properties of printed samples were observed.Keywords

As the humanity is again turning toward natural products instead of synthetics, the purpose of the experiment was to study the textile application of extracted Colocasia starch as natural stiffening agent on cotton fabric. A comparative testing of colocasia extracted starched samples with commercially available starch showed that the extracted starch was as good as control and can be safely applied on textiles as stiffening agent. Extracted Colocasia starch was stored at room temperature in air tight container. Even after one year it was observed that the starch was in good condition without change in colour and texture. Application of sizing agent leads to an increase in stiffness, strength and weight of the fabric. Study revealed that the starch extracted from Colocasia tubers can successfully be used as natural stiffening agent on cotton fabric.Keywords
