Based on the traditional indigo dyed textiles and applications of contemporary

Blue dyed textiles, traditional dying and printing techniques applied on a plain undyed woven fabric with İndigofera tinctoria and isatis tinctoria which has a highly deep tradition in blue dying process has been analised in this study. On the other hand it made an expansion on the belief systems has been believed that blue colorant has mistique , magical power and symbolic codes with socio cultural perspective .?Based on The Traditional İndigo Dyed Textiles and Applications of Contemporary? thessis study constituent on three parts.

Plant Sources And Specialities of The Natural Dyes Used for Blue Color?. Indigo vat dying process have been implemented as ritüel on different cultures and continents .
