What is Yarn Dyed Fabric

The dyed yarns are generally divided into two ways: colored spinning and dyed yarns. Generally speaking, the yarn-dyed fabric refers to the cloth woven by the shuttle loom, but the knitting machine can also make yarn-dyed knitwear. Compared with printed and dyed cloth, it has a unique style, but the price is more expensive. Because the total loss of dyed yarn, weaving and finishing of yarn-dyed cloth is relatively larger, while the output per machine is not as high as that of white grey cloth, so the cost increases.

Product Features

Compared with conventional products, yarn-dyed fabrics have better color fastness because they are dyed first and the color penetrates into the yarn, while printed and dyed fabrics usually have areas where the yarn is not colored when you peel the yarn.

Minimum order quantity is small. No matter what yarn weave, density, grain, color tens of meters and hundreds of meters can also be done, but it is difficult to customize the dyed printed fabric without grey cloth, and the dyeing and printing process will limit the small batch production.

Full Yarn Dyed Fabric

Dyed or partially dyed yarn in both warp and weft (or fabric with several colored yarns interwoven with white yarns.

Semi Yarn Dyed Fabric

Warp or weft yarns are dyed or partially dyed. Blank yarn can not be used to weave yarns. Because the tension and shrinkage of the blank yarn is different from that of the dyed yarn, it must not be used in the warp direction, and when used in the post-finishing of the latitude direction, the cloth surface will be deformed because of the shrinkage problem. So generally colorless yarn is half - drift or full drift treatment.

Advantages of Dyed Fabric

Compared with printed and dyed cloth, yarn-dyed cloth has the characteristics of rich color, strong stereotyping and high color fastness. However, due to the larger losses in dyeing, weaving and finishing processes, and the higher output of production than white grey cloth, the input cost is higher and the technical requirements are higher. Yarn-dyed fabric accounts for only 7% of the global cotton spinning industry, with the highest proportion of printed and dyed cloth and denim. In the future, with consumers' demand for clothing colors becoming more fashionable and changeable, yarn-dyed fabric still has great prospects for development.
