ABSTRACT
Bleached silk fabric was dyed with natural dyes obtained from the stem of Achras sapota and flower of Spathodea
campanulata. The colour fastness properties and colour strength of dyed silk fabric were determined and
compared. From the comparative study of fastness properties and colour strength of the dyed silk samples,
Spathodea campanulata in simultaneous mordanting method with 3% mordant combination gives better results as
compared to the natural dye obtained from stem of Achras sapota.
