Abstract

Abstract: Problems encountered in the development of the weaving home industry inthe East Rabadompu Village, Bima City as an export commodity include: Bima woven fabric products use yarn raw material that has been colored using synthetic dyes thereby reducing the artistic value and exotic side. Although synthetic dyes have a more diverse color, they do not fade easily, are easily produced, the fabric coloring process is easier and the cost is cheap. However, synthetic dyes are carcinogenic and dangerous for the environment. The solution to overcome these problems is to use natural dyes obtained from plant extracts in the form of root, bark, stem, leaf or fruit. Natural dyes have many advantages, including colors that are more natural, cool, unique and beautiful in accordance with the characteristics of natural colors, waste produced more environmentally friendly (biodegradable), the availability of abundant raw materials (renewable). In this activity, natural dyes are made from indigo leaves, yellow bark, mahogany bark, java bark, brown seaweed, areca nut and noni root. The resulting yarn colors consist of black, maroon, pink, beige, gray and purple.
