Abstract

Garment dyeing with natural pigments is an alternative to using chemical dyes that are often toxic to the environment and human health. The objective of the study was to perform the process of dyeing alpaca fiber with natural pigment from fresh and dried molle. For this purpose, pressurized aqueous liquid extraction of molle pigment was performed, color (L*, a* and b*), pH, total solids were measured and the stability of the extract in storage was evaluated. The water was partially evaporated and the concentrated extract was used to dye the alpaca fiber using the following mordants: citric acid, copper sulfate, iron sulfate, aluminum sulfate, potassium bitartrate, ammonium sulfate, evaluating the color intensity, as well as the color fastness to rubbing and washing. The results indicated that the best storage condition for the extract was 5°C in the dark and that the evaluation of color fastness to rubbing and washing of the skeins showed values of 4-5 using the mordants mentioned, although with citric acid fewer rinses were performed. It is concluded that citric acid was the mordant with the best affinity to molle, and that for the dyeing of alpaca fiber, 21 and 4 ml of concentrated extract of fresh and dry molle, respectively, was satisfactory.
