ANALYZING THE EFFECT OF BLENDING RATIO AND SPINNING SYSTEM ON THE PROPERTIES OF BAMBOO/COTTON FABRICS DYED WITH ACORN DYESTUFF

In the context of sustainable development goals, a diverse array of contributing studies has emerged within the textile sector. It is evident that the majority of these studies encompass both legal and customer obligations. The objective of contemporary businesses is to manufacture products that demonstrate a high level of environmental sensitivity. For instance, the objective is to reduce the quantity of waste products, to achieve energy-efficient production, to minimize the amount of chemicals employed, to reduce water consumption, to utilize energy derived from renewable sources, and thus to diminish the carbon footprint. From an environmental standpoint, the chemicals utilized in textile product manufacturing have emerged as a significant consideration. It is preferable that the chemicals employed in the dyeing process (dyestuffs, bleaching agents, softeners, etc.) are environmentally sensitive. Furthermore, the use of organic dyes in the dyeing process is also employed as a means of obtaining a more sustainable product. In the context of this study, the production of bamboo/cotton yarn was conducted at varying blend ratios (67/33%, 50/50%, and 33/67%) through the use of three distinct production methods (open end, vortex, and ring systems). Single jersey knitted fabrics were produced using these yarns with the same production parameters. Subsequently, the fabrics were dyed using acorn natural dyestuff. Pilling, fastness and CIELab analyses were performed on the fabric samples, and the results were subjected to statistical analysis.
