This study investigated the influence of fiber composition on the color strength of cotton/Hemp blends in textile applications. Cotton and Hemp, two natural fibers with distinct structural and chemical properties, were blended in varying ratios to assess their impact on dye uptake and color strength. Blends were dyed with reactive dye using a direct dyeing method, and color strength (K/S values) was measured using spectrophotometry. The results revealed significant variations in color strength across different blend ratios, with fiber composition playing a crucial role in dye absorption. Higher proportions of Hemp with higher moisture regain were found to increase color strength due to its high water absorbency as compared to cotton. This study provides valuable insights into optimizing cotton/Hemp blends for enhanced color performance, offering practical implications for textile manufacturers seeking sustainable and high-performance fabric solutions.
