DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF CROCHET NECK SCARF USING COTTON YARN DYED WITH EUCALYPTUS LEAVES

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to look into the creation of a crochet neck scarf coloured with eucalyptus leaves. This study's objective is to investigate and grasp the aesthetic, useful, and practical characteristics of the scarf as well as the potential use of eucalyptus leaves as a dyeing agent. Also, this project will consider the viability of designing and creating a crochet neck scarf into a consumer good. In order to create a product that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional, as well as to better understand the potential of a natural dyeing approach, this study is essential. The project's materials were initially decided upon. Eucalyptus leaves, thread, and crochet hooks were all within. Next, using boiling water and eucalyptus leaves, the yarn was coloured. To get the best possible colour absorption, the yarn was left in the pot for a very long time. The yarn was coloured and then made ready for crocheting. The yarn was used to make a simple neck scarf style. Blocking, tucking in the ends, and adding a fringe were the final finishing touches for the neck scarf. A highly stylish and eye-catching accessory that is sure to draw attention is the end result of the design and creation of a crochet neck scarf using eucalyptus leaf colouring. The eucalyptus leaves will give the scarf a lovely, earthy tone, making it stand out. The intricate and delicate crochet design ensures that the item will become a classic addition to any wardrobe. The natural colouring process and the crocheted pattern will make this scarf a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
