Abstract
Synthetic dyes used locally for dyeing of cotton fabrics comes with some consequential health implications.These synthetic dyes apart from being harzadous in nature, are also very expensive andsometimesinaccessible to some places for lack of funds to purchase them. It becomes imperative to extendresearchtoother sources of dyes precisely natural sources which are eco-friendly and medicinal in some cases. Thesedyes can be used by local dyers and even industries for the colouration of textile materials, food, cosmeticsand pharmaceuticals. The extraction of dye from roselle is hereby reported. The dye was extractedusingethanol as solvent by varying the extraction condition. A maximum yield of about 71.2%was obtained. Theextracted dye was applied on cotton fabric using chrome as mordant at varying dyeing conditions. Theresults of the analysis showed a good wash and light fastness
