The loss weight was found to depend on both the nature of fabric and the chemical used as well as the concentration of the latter .
Different color tones could be obtained on dyeing the burn out blends using a natural dye namely Rhubarb powder. The effect of burn out was evaluated via measuring the loss in weight, K/S as the overall fastness properties of the dyed fabrics .
