Abstract

Natural dyes have long been used by Indonesians in traditional textile production because they are considered environmentally friendly, safe, and produce distinctive colors that are difficult to obtain with synthetic dyes. However, with the development of the modern textile industry, the use of natural dyes has begun to decline. Lombok, as a region with a strong weaving tradition, especially among the Sasak community at the Fetung Bayan Weaving Studio, still maintains the practice of natural dyeing that has been passed down from generation to generation. This study aims to identify the types of natural dye plants used and analyze the parts of the plants and the colors they produce. The research method used was qualitative descriptive method through field observation and interviews with weavers at Sanggar Fetung Bayan. Primary data was obtained from interviews and documentation, while secondary data was obtained from relevant literature sources. Plant specimens were collected, made into herbariums, and then identified based on morphological characteristics. The results showed that there were four types of plants used as natural dyes, namely tarum (Indigofera spicata), which produces a dark green color from its leaves; turmeric (Curcuma longa), which produces a yellow color from its rhizomes; lontar (Lannea coromandelica), which produces a pink to dark red color from its bark; and teak (Tectona grandis), which produces pink color from its leaf tips. Knowledge about natural dyes, which has been passed down from generation to generation without formal training, reflects the strength of local wisdom in preserving the Sasak weaving culture
