Dyeing processes

Dyeing processes involve applying color to textiles to create desired hues and patterns. Typically, the fabric is immersed in a dye bath containing liquid dye, which bonds with the fibers through mechanisms like absorption or adsorption. Pre-treatment steps, such as cleaning or mordanting (using a substance to fix the dye), enhance color fastness. Methods vary—some fabrics are dyed before weaving (fiber dyeing), others after (piece or garment dyeing). The process controls factors like temperature, time, and dye concentration to achieve consistent, vibrant, and durable colors suitable for different types of textiles.
