Textile dyeing is the process of adding color to fabric or yarn. This can be done using various methods, including immersion in dye baths, spraying, or printing. The dyes can be natural, derived from plants and minerals, or synthetic, made from chemical compounds. The choice of dye and method affects the final color, texture, and durability of the fabric.
Different types of fibers, such as cotton, wool, and polyester, require specific dyeing techniques to achieve the best results. Proper preparation and post-dyeing treatments, like washing and fixing, are essential to ensure that the color remains vibrant and does not fade over time.
