Topics in Dyeing and Printing of Textiles

1

Types of Dyes

  • Dyes are substances that add colour to textiles and can be natural or synthetic.
  • Natural dyes come from plant, animal, and mineral sources.
  • Synthetic dyes are made from coal tar and are more commonly used due to bright colours and better fastness.
2

Stages of Dyeing

  • Dyeing can be done at four stages: fiber, yarn, fabric (piece), and garment.
  • Fiber stage dyeing (dope dyeing) adds dye to the spinning solution, making colour permanent.
  • Yarn dyeing is used to create patterned fabrics like checks and stripes.
3

Resist Dyeing Techniques

  • Resist dyeing prevents colour from reaching certain areas of fabric to create patterns.
  • Batik uses wax as a resist — applied with brush, then fabric is dyed and wax removed by boiling.
  • Tie and dye involves tying fabric with thread or rubber bands before dyeing to create patterns.
4

Textile Printing Methods

  • Printing applies colour in specific patterns on fabric, unlike dyeing which colours the whole material.
  • Direct printing applies colour directly on white or dyed fabric using blocks or screens.
  • Discharge printing removes colour from already dyed fabric to create patterns.
