Natural dye controlled and applied to karen pattern styles under project plan textiles knowledge management for researching and local wisdom conservation : a case study of karen woven fabric

Abstract

A research study as Natural Dye Controlled and Applied to Karen Pattern Styles was divided to 2 main studies. The first was natural dye control by varying the condition, amount of auxiliaries, and mordanting process. The second study was developed and applied the natural shade color to the Karen patterns and using questionnaires as the tool for measure the customer satisfactions level.
