dyeworks
Color production plant
A dyeworks is a factory or facility where fabrics, yarns, or other materials are dyed.
The term typically refers to industrial-scale operations rather than small craft studios: The old dyeworks by the river closed in the 1980s.
Like similar compound nouns (steelworks, gasworks), it takes singular or plural agreement.
