The colour fastness properties of the stem of Achras sapota dyed on cotton were studied using combination of mordants such as myrobolan :nickel sulphate, myrobolan : aluminium sulphate, myrobolan : potassium dichromate, myrobolan : ferrous sulphate, and myrobolan : stannous chloride in the ratio of 1:3, 1:1 and 3:1. The washing, rubbing, light and perspiration fastness of the dyed samples were evaluated giving fair to excellent fastness grades.
