Abstract

This design-oriented experimental study focused on developing a collection of woven fabrics made from hemp and hemp-blended yarns, dyed with natural dyes (turmeric, sage, pomegranate peel, walnut shell, and madder) to highlight the value of hemp fiber and contribute to sustainable textile design. The collection included fabrics made from hemp and hemp blends, Tencel™, and elastane, using various weaving structures, including dobby weaving, single- and double-layer structures, extra-weft weaving, and pleating, to create visually rich fabric surfaces with three-dimensional effects on both a handloom and an automatic sample weaving machine. Two pre-mordanting natural dyeing methods were applied: dyeing hemp-cotton blend yarns and fabrics woven from hemp and hemp-blended yarns. Yarns were dyed before weaving for four of the six designs, whereas for the other two, the fabrics were dyed after weaving. Two designs were selected for production on the automatic sample weaving machine. Notably, some designs exhibited striped patterns with varying dye absorption across fibers. The findings revealed that the three-dimensional effect was less pronounced in 100% hemp sections than in blends. Various combinations, elastane yarn, and the hot-water shrinkage process contributed to the desired effects. In Designs 5 and 6, pleated structu-res were pulled by hand after weaving and took on a wavy form due to the stiff nature of the hemp yarn. This enhanced the visual impact of the designs. The study concluded that the appropriate combination of yarns and techniques is essential for creating innovative fabric designs.

Özet

Tasarım odaklı bu deneysel çalışmada, kenevir lifinin değerini vurgulamak ve sürdürülebilir tekstil tasarımına katkıda bulunmak amacıyla, doğal boyalarla (zerdeçal, adaçayı, nar kabuğu, ceviz kabuğu ve kök boya) boyanmış kenevir ve kenevir karışımlı ipliklerle oluşturulan bir dokuma kumaş koleksiyonunun geliştirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Koleksiyon, görsel açıdan zengin yüzeyler ve üç boyutlu etkiler oluşturmaya yönelik olarak, kenevir ve kenevir karışımları, Tencel™ ve elastan kullanılarak armürlü dokuma, tek katlı ve çift katlı yapılar, ekstra atkı ve pilise gibi çeşitli dokuma yapılarıyla hem el tezgâhında hem de otomatik numune dokuma makinesinde üretilen kumaşlardan oluşmaktadır. İki farklı ön mordanlamalı doğal boyama yöntemi uygulanmıştır: kenevir-pamuk karışımlı ipliklerin doğal boyanması ile kenevir ve kenevir karışımlı ipliklerden dokunan kumaşların doğal boyanması. Altı tasarımın dördünde iplikler dokumadan önce boyanırken, ikisinde kumaşlar dokunduktan sonra boyanmıştır. Bu tasarımlardan ikisi otomatik numune dokuma makinesinde üretim için seçilmiştir. Dikkat çekici olarak, bazı tasarımlarda farklı liflerin boyayı farklı oranlarda alması nedeniyle çizgili desenler oluşmuştur. Üç boyutlu etkinin %100 kenevir kısımlarında karışımlı kısımlara kıyasladaha az belirgin olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Farklı iplik kombinasyonları, elastan iplik kullanımı ve sıcak suyla çektirme işlemi istenen etkilerin elde edilmesine katkı sağlamıştır. Tasarım 5 ve 6’ da, piliseli yapılar dokuma sonrasında elle çekilerek şekillendirilmiş ve kenevir ipliğinin sert yapısı sayesinde dalgalı bir form kazanmıştır. Bu durum, tasarımların görsel etkisini artırmıştır. Yenilikçi kumaş tasarımları oluşturabilmek için uygun iplik kombinasyonları ile tekniklerin bir araya getirilmesinin önemli olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
