Under the strategic goal of “Dual Carbon”, China’s textile industry is gradually transforming toward green, environmentally friendly, and sustainable development, and natural plant pigments are being increasingly applied in the textile industry. As a traditional medicinal plant in China, mugwort contains flavonoid-based natural pigments that can be used for fabric dyeing to further improve color fastness and color uniformity. Ramie is a kind of natural fiber featuring outstanding air permeability and antibacterial properties; nevertheless, its high crystallinity leads to great difficulties in dyeing. At present, the application of natural mugwort pigment in ramie dyeing is still limited, which restricts the dyeing effect of ramie fibers. This paper mainly analyzes the extraction technologies of natural mugwort pigment and the pretreatment processes of ramie fiber for dyeing, and explores the application of natural mugwort pigment in ramie fiber dyeing, so as to improve the overall dyeing performance of ramie fibers.
