Coloring of Woolen Fabrics with Natural Resources and Investigating the Color Perceptions of Children on These Fabrics

Today, the rate of watching videos by children is quite high. These videos they watch give subliminal messages to children. In this study, the color selection changes of children were investigated with the help of videos shot with these fabrics using fabrics colored with plant sources. Salvia Officinalis and Thymus Serpyllum were used as natural dyestuffs in the coloring of woolen fabrics. In the dyeing experiments carried out according to the together mordanting method, plant sources were used directly without any pre-treatment. As a result of the dyeing experiments, the color values of the washed and dried fabrics were measured and ICP-MS and FTIR analyzes were performed. In addition to these, washing and rubbing fastness tests and antibacterial effect tests of woolen fabrics dyed with plant sources were also carried out. Also, SEM images of dyed fabric samples were also examined. As a result of these tests, it has been determined that Salvia Officinalis and Thymus Serpyllum can be used as a natural dyestuff source for woolen fabrics. In addition, the videos that were shown to the children within the scope of the study affected the perceptions of the children and caused them to change their color choices.
