Have you ever heard of "Plant Dyeing?
(I) plant staining
plant dyeing, also known as "natural dyeing" and "vegetation dyeing", is a method of dyeing textiles using herbal dyes. Human beings began to know dyes from minerals. As early as 6000 or 7000 years ago in the Neolithic Age, our ancestors were able to dye linen with hematite powder red.
people gradually discovered that plants can also be used as dyes with better color and fastness, plant dyes gradually replaced mineral dyes. Plant dyeing began to become the mainstream and continued for thousands of years. This process, with the invention of chemical synthetic dyes in the middle of the 19th century and the rapid development of social economy, gradually faded out of the lives of urbanites. Today, only in some remote and underdeveloped areas, the tradition of dyeing cloth with natural dyes is still maintained. However, when we gradually clearly realize the non-renewable resources used by chemical dyes, the pollution of dye wastewater to mountains and rivers, and the hidden threat of dye chemical composition to health, we have to focus on the lifestyle of our ancestors. Traditional natural dyeing, especially plant dyeing, has the advantages of non-polluting raw materials, renewable and beneficial to health, which has extremely important practical significance for protecting the environment and saving energy, plant dyeing has only returned to public view.
(II) Plant Dyes
compared with the past, the progress of science and technology and detection methods has greatly improved and enhanced the various properties, safety and color fastness of plant dyes. The main extracted plant sources are turmeric (yellow), madder (red), isatis root leaves (indigo), chestnut shells (brown), etc. Most of the vegetable dyes in the market come from China, India, Switzerland, Russia and other different countries. The forms of dyes include colloidal, powdered and liquid dyes.
in ancient times, vegetable dyes have always played a very important role. From clothes, home construction food to tools and works of art, plant dyes are indispensable. However, due to the shortcomings that are difficult to overcome in practice, such as the complexity of materials and dyeing methods, after the invention of chemical dyes, plant dyes have gradually been replaced. However, the use of chemical dyes to this day has gradually highlighted the pollution problem, arousing people's attention to plant dyes with the characteristics of health, safety and nature.
