Process | Dyeing |
---|---|
Dyeing is a process used to colour textiles. The process varies considerably depending on the type of dye, type of fabric, and requirements.
All dyeing processes involve three steps: 1) Activation of the fabric (to make it receptive to the colouring agents); 2) Colouring; 3) Fixation. After the dye is set by ageing or heating, the fabric may be washed again and dried and/or heat cured. |
