Yarn dye
Yarn is dyed before the fabric is made. Coloured yarns are then woven or knitted to form the material.
The detail that defines it.
This sequence can create stripes, checks and other patterns from the yarn itself. It differs from surface printing and dyeing fabric or garments after they are made.
Three stages for adding colour.
The stage of dyeing and the way colour is fixed are different things. Pigments and reactive dyes can be used at different stages.
Care starts with understanding.
Check the fibres and label. Yarn dyeing explains the production sequence, but does not make every washing treatment suitable for the colour.
Your garment’s label has the final word. Check its composition and specific instructions before washing, drying or ironing.
Every garment has its own details.
Check each style’s product page for composition, weight, origin and finishes. This guide explains concepts rather than replacing its specific information.
