Knowledge Management Center, NID Assam | Knowledge Management Center, NID Assam | Reference | Material Library Collection | 667.1 BEE (Browse shelf (Opens below)) | Not For Loan | Beetroot dye imparts a temporary, often weak pink to reddish-purple color on natural fibers like cotton and wool, but its instability means the color is prone to fading, especially in sunlight and washing, eventually turning brown. While beetroot dye offers an eco-friendly option, the color requires careful handling with natural fixatives like salt or vinegar and often benefits from solar dying with alum for better retention. | ML147 |
