  • Notes: This research aims to evaluate the feasibility of employing an atmospheric-pressure plasma jet (APPJ) as a sustainable method in the textile and artisanal industries. Experiments were conducted to examine the efficacy of the APPJ in dyeing wool using the Dactylopius coccus dye. The findings help us to determine if the APPJ is a viable and sustainable alternative, contributing to more environmentally responsible dyeing techniques while preserving artisanal tradition. Colorimetric parameters, textile characteristics, color fastness, and medullation properties were assessed. https://doi.org/10.3390/app15010421
