This study aims to determine the types of natural coloring plants, organs plant or parts used, the processing to the colors produced from plants organs used in the process of coloring woven cloth on Ndao Island, Ndao Nuse Village, Ndao Nuse  sub-district, Rote Ndao Regency. The method used is a qualitative descriptive method. The technique used in this study is direct observation techniques in the field and semi-structured interviews. Semi-structured interviews are interview processes that use interview guides derived from the development of topics and ask questions to ikat weaving craftsmen, the aim is to explore and obtain information related to the data needed.
