Yarn Dyeing

Warp beam dyeing:

Description: Beam dyeing is simply a much larger version of package dyeing. This method is similar to package dyeing but is more economical. Yarn is wound on to a perforated warp beam or perforated cylinders, which is then placed in the beam dyeing machine where the flow of the dye bath alternates as in package dyeing.

Suitability:

It is used when fabrics are to be woven with dyed warp yarns.

Merits and demerits:

• Beam dyeing is more economical than skein or package dyeing.
