Yarn Dyed Fabrics
Yarn-dyed fabrics represent a different approach, focusing on the dyeing process rather than surface printing.
Characteristics:
- Definition: In yarn-dyed fabrics, the yarns themselves are dyed before weaving, resulting in rich, consistent colors throughout the material.
- Color and Design: Offers depth and texture, with patterns like stripes, checks, and plaids.
- Feel: Typically soft and flexible, as the dyeing process does not add extra layers to the fabric.
- Durability: Excellent color fastness and durability, as the color penetrates the fibers.
Suitable Fabric Compositions:
- Cotton: Commonly used, especially for shirting fabrics.
- Wool: Often used for suiting and high-quality garments.
- Linen: Popular for its natural texture and breathability.
