Wool and silk fabrics were dyed using the water extract obtained from eucalyptus leaves; essentially higher utilization of dyestuffs and shortening of the dyeing procedure was achieved as a result of the padding dyeing principle followed prior to drying. Simultaneous mordanting by FeSO(4) shows brown-grey color of different shades depending on the dye concentration. The dye exploitation of wool is higher than that of silk, and in both cases common exhaustion methods are better than long baths. The ecological and economical considerations of dyeing by natural dyestuffs are discussed.
