*3.2.2.1 Mordanting of bamboo fabric*

Mordanting of bamboo was carried out with mordant at concentrations on the weight of fabric alum (aluminum potassium sulfate): 25% at 60–90°C for 30–60 min with material to liquor ratio as 1:30. The mordanted fabric was squeezed and dried in open width form at 100°C for 5 min and then used for printing.

Dyeing of pre-mordant of bamboo fabric, pre-mordanting treatment was conducted using mordant. Bamboo fabric samples were pre-mordanted of bamboo

At 60–90°C for 30–60 min with material to liquor ratio as 1:30. After mordanting the samples were rinsed in cold water to remove the excess of mordant and used

Dye solution was boiling for ½ h at 40°C and filter of the dye bath after that dyeing of the pre-mordanted samples was performed for 1 h at 30–40°C in an open bath beaker dyeing machine at 20:1 liquor to material ratio. The dyed samples were
