Abstract

This essay discusses the use of wool in weaving textile garments in the cottage industry, from its obtaining and preparation. The review of synthetic and natural dyes used in dyeing stands out. The latter are classified based on their origin, chemical structure, hue or tone, application form, and the mordents used for their fixation in natural fibers. Finally, the standard tests commonly used internationally for the quality control of such textiles are briefly described.
