Knowledge Management Center, NID Assam | Knowledge Management Center, NID Assam | Reference | Material Library Collection | 667.1 ONI (Browse shelf (Opens below)) | Not For Loan | Onion peel dye is a natural dye made by extracting pigments from onion skins, producing yellow to brown hues from yellow onions and red-pink-maroon tones from red onions. This waste material creates a sustainable dye due to the natural flavonoids (like quercetin) and anthocyanins within the skins, which require simple boiling with water and can be applied to natural fibers such as cotton, wool, and silk, often with the help of metal mordants for enhanced color fastness and shade variety. | ML146 |
