원예치료 프로그램 및 학습 교구의 다양화 측면에서 쑥 추출물의 염색성 조사 및 쑥을 염재로 한 천연염색 교구용 패키지를 개발 하였다. 염료의 추출은 신선한 쑥과 건조 쑥 모두 100℃에서 20분간 추출하였으며, 염색은 70-80℃에서 20분간 실시하였다. 매염은 후매염을 하였으며, 기본적으로 1%액으로 상온에서 20분간 실시하였다. 신선한 쑥 추출물로 염색한 결과 ᐃE값은 무염색포와 염색포간에 견직물은 16.22 이상, 면직물은 7.74 이상을 나타내어 염색성을 확인할 수 있었다. 견직물의 표면색은 황산알루미늄과 황산제1철 매염처리구는 모두 GY계열을 나타냈으며, 면직물은 매염제 농도에 따라 GY 및 Y계열을 나타냈다. 건조 쑥의 열수 추출물로 염색한 견직물의 표면 색상은 황산알루미늄과 황산제1철 매염처리구는 GY, 황산구리 매염처리구는 Y계열을 나타냈으며, 면직물은 모두 Y계열을 나타냈다. 천연염색 교구 제작을 목적으로 물 1L에 대한 적정 건조 쑥의 양은 조사한 결과 15g이었으며, 이를 이용하여 면재질의 손수건은 2-4개, 견재질의 스카프는 1-2개를 염색할 수 있었다. 원예치료 프로그램 및 학습교구 측면에서 건조 쑥 15g을 부직포에 담은 염료와 더불어 매염제 및 피염물(손수건 또는 스카프), 홀치기용 고무줄이 포함된 천연염색 교구용 패키지를 개발하였다. 개발한 쑥 천연염색 패키지는 교구로 쉽게 활용할 수 있었으며, 원예치료 프로그램 및 학습교구로 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
This study was conducted to investigate the dyeing of the fabric of mugwort extract and develope the teaching tools in relation to the natural dyeing using mugwort extract in the aspect of diversities of horticultural therapy progaram and learning tools. The extraction of dye was used fresh and dried mugworts for minutes at 100℃. Those staining was performed for 20 minutes at 70-80℃. The mordant was performed by post-mordant which was used by 1% of mordant fluid for 20 minutes at room temperature. As shown in results of staining of fresh mugworts extract, dyeing of the fabric of mugwort extract was confirmed, because ᐃE values were more than 16.22 and 7.74 in silk fabrics and cotton fabrics, respectively. Surface color in silk fabrics appeared on GY series in Al2(SO4)3 and FeSO4 treatments. However, in case of cotton fabrics, surface color appeared on GY and Y series, according to the concentration of Al2(SO4)3 and FeSO4. In the case of use of the mordants extracted from dried mugwort containing into boiling water, surface color in silk fabrics appeared on GY series in Al2(SO4)3 and FeSO4 treatments and Y series on CuSO4 treatments. However, in case of cotton fabrics, surface color appeared on Y series in Al2(SO4)3, FeSO4 and CuSO4 treatments. For the purpose of making teaching tools related with natural dyes, the appropriate amount of dried mugwort per 1L of water was about 15g. Using these amounts, the number of handkerchief of cotton fabrics was 2-4 sheets and the number of scarf of silk fabrics was 1-2 sheets. We had developed the package of natural dyeing teaching tools including 1) dyes containing gauze bag with 15g of dried mugwort, 2) mordants, 3) handkerchief and scarf and binding elastic cords for the dyeing materials of dried mugwort. we suggest that everyone can easily use the natural dyeing package developed by natural mugwort and it can be usefully utilized as horticultural therapy program and learning tools.
