dyeing process

Textile color treatment

The dyeing process is the method by which color is applied to fibers, fabrics, or other materials.

It typically involves preparing the material, applying dye through immersion or other techniques, and fixing the color so it won't wash out.

Different fibers require different processes: The dyeing process for silk differs significantly from cotton.
