In this paper, the effect of degumming processes on the physical performance, surface properties and colourcoordinates of silk fabrics at high temperature and enzymatically, which was developed as an alternative to conventionalmethod, has been investigated. Degummed silk fabrics were compared in terms of weight loss, bending length, tear andbreaking strength, surface roughness and friction coefficient. After these tests, acid dyeing was performed to observedifferent degumming methods effect on dyeing behaviour of degummed silk fabric. The colour coordinates wereevaluated by L*, a*, b*, C*, h0, K/S, and ∆E* values. The results revealed that despite insignificant differences betweenconventional and alternative methods in terms of physical performance and surface properties, the conventional methodgave slightly better results than the others. There were no significant differences in colour depth between the twoprocesses. These reasons showed that the alternative method could be used instead of the traditional method and amore sustainable process has been designed
