Description: Yarns are wound on spools, cones or similar units and then dyed is referred to as package dyed yarn. About a pound of the yarn is wound on a small perforated spool or tubes called as packages. Many spools fit in to the dyeing machine in which the flow of the dye bath alternates from the centre to the outside and then from the outside to the centre of the package under pressure to penetrate the entire yarn as thoroughly as possible.
Suitability: Most carded and combed cotton that is used for knitted outer wear is package dyed.
Merits:
The dye has a chance to penetrate to the core of the yarn similar in stock or fibre dyeing.
Very widely used for most types of yarn used in knitted and woven fabrics.
Demerits:
Package dyed yarn d o not retain the softness and loftiness that skein dyed yarns do.
