Abstract: In this study, the reactive dyeability of 100% cotton, acrylic-cotton (Co)/acrylic, and Ecocell/acrylic blend woven fabrics in a single bath was examined. The results were assessed in terms of washing fastness, hydrophilicity values, and color fastness. Additionally, the effect of using cotton and Ecocell fibers together with acrylic fibers on the physical properties of the fabrics was investigated, and the test results were analyzed. Experiments were conducted on satin weave and plain weave fabrics with two different yarn counts. As a result, no negative effect was observed on the fastness values when reactive dyeing was performed in a single bath on 100% cotton, Ecocell/acrylic, and cotton/acrylic blend woven fabrics, although differences were observed in K/S values.
