Dyeing Dyeing may occur at any stage of the manufacturing process. Applying dyes to fiber (stock and top dyeing) or to yarn (skein, package, and beam dyeing) gives the greatest penetration of color. Applying dyes to cloth ( jet, jig, pad, and beam dyeing) produces affordable solid-colored fabrics. Simple apparel such as t-shirts and hosiery might be dyed only after they are constructed.

Different fabrics require distinct types of dye, depending on their fiber content. cellulosebased fabrics such as cotton or bamboo are colored using fiber-reactive, direct/substantive, or vat dyes. Protein-based fabrics such as mohair or cashmere are colored using vat, acid, or indirect/mordant dyes that need a bonding agent. Synthetics have individual demands that might include disperse, pigment, basic, and metal complex acid dyes.
