Abstract
A textile and a dye manufactured from fibers that are derived from tobacco plants and a process for making the textile and dye from the tobacco plants. In a preferred embodiment, the tobacco is organically grown and the entire tobacco plant, including stem and leaves, is utilized to produce the tobacco plant fiber used for making a textile and a natural dye utilized to color the textile or other textiles. One or more secondary material fibers can be mixed with the tobacco plant fiber to produce the textile. The process percolates a hot liquid solution onto tobacco plant material to cause a chemical reaction with the tobacco plant material to produce the tobacco plant fiber. Preferably, the process is a closed-loop system that minimizes the impact on the environment and utilizes less material, fuel and other resources. The dye does not require a mordant to bind with the textile.
