The fabric pieces are sewn end to end, making lengths of material of up to about 1000 yards.
Long lengths of cloth that are to be dyed on a continuous process are very often beck- dyed on a continuous process is very often beck-dyed by passing the fabric in a tension free rope-form through the dye bath.
The rope of cloth moves over a rail on to a reel which immerses in to the dye and then draws the fabric up and forward to the front of the machine.
The process is repeated as long as necessary to dye the material uniformly to the desired intensity of colour.
Suitability:
The method is widely used on knitted fabrics, woolen and worsted woven clothes, as well as fabrics with surface texture effects.
Merits:
Much of the original softness and fullness of the fabric is retained with beck dyeing and it is therefore widely used for woolens and worsted woven goods and knitted fabrics.
