Question

Which is the main source of colour for preparing a natural dye?

Answer 1

• Plants are the main source of colour for preparing a natural dye. 
• Roots, leaves, flowers, bark, fruits, seeds, fungus and pistils are used for making dyes. 
• In Kashmir a very good dye is made from saffron, which is used to dye fibers from which saris, shawls and dresses are made. 
• These are very costly. The use of henna leaves to colour hair is safe for health.
