The authors studied the effect of capacitively coupled radio-frequency (RF) discharge at low pressure on cotton fiber. It is shown that non-cellulose impurities of cotton fiber are removed during processing: the content of extracted substances is reduced by 22-70% depending on the type of solvent when using air, by 5-6% – when using argon. The surface of the fibers becomes hydrophilic, additional submicroscopic pores appear, the roughness increases 1.6 times, water absorption increases 1,5-1,8 times. Discontinuous knitted fabric dyeing was carried out varying the concentration of the active dyes (remasol) in the dye-bath. It was found that the sorption capacity of cotton fibers in relation to the dye increases on average 1.1-1.25 times. To achieve the required color intensity of plasma pre-treated samples dye concentration on average 10-30% less than in the controlled dyeing is needed. The concentrations of dyes that allow obtaining the same intensity of color for the knitted fabric prepared in different ways are selected.
