Textile dyeing is an important process in the textile industry that gives fabrics their beautiful and lasting colors. It is the method of applying dyes or pigments to textile materials such as yarns, fibers, or finished fabrics so that the color becomes a permanent part of the material. Without dyeing, the textile world would be dull and lifeless, as color brings style, identity, and value to fabrics used in clothing, home furnishings, and industrial products.
The main purpose of textile dyeing is to add attractive and uniform color to fabrics that will not fade or wash out easily. Dyeing can be done at different stages of production — on raw fibers, yarns, or finished cloth. The choice depends on the type of fiber and the desired effect. For example, cotton, silk, wool, and polyester all require different dyeing methods and chemicals because their structures react differently to colorants.
