The Difference Between Yarn-dye and Fabric-dye

Yarn-dye is widely used in the customization of beach towels, poncho towels, bathrobes, jackets and shirts due to its good color, durability and suitability for small-scale production. Let’s talk about what kind of fabric is Yarn-dye and the difference between Yarn-dye and Fabric-dye Fabric.

What kind of fabric is Yarn-dye fabric?
Yarn-dye fabric is a fabric woven with dyed yarn. Dyeing yarn is generally divided into two ways: spun yarn and dyed yarn. Usually, Yarn-dye fabric refers to fabric woven by shuttle looms, but knitting machines can also make dyed knitted fabrics. Compared with Fabric-dye fabrics, it has a unique style, but the price is relatively expensive. Since the total loss of dyeing, weaving and finishing of dyed fabrics is relatively large, the output of yarn-dye is not as high as that of white fabric, so the cost is increased.

Dyed fabric can be divided into full-dyed and half-dyed according to the different degrees of dyeing of warp and weft yarns.
Full-color weaving means that both the warp and weft have dyed or partially dyed yarns (or there are several colored yarns interwoven with white yarns in the fabric).

Half-color weaving means that the warp or weft yarns are dyed or partially dyed. Grey yarn cannot be used to weave color-dyed fabrics because the tension and shrinkage of grey yarn are different from those of dyed yarn, so it cannot be used in the warp direction. If it is used in the weft direction, the surface of the fabric will be deformed due to shrinkage problems during post-finishing. Therefore, colorless yarns are generally semi-bleached or fully bleached.

The difference between yarn-dye and fabric-dye
The difference between these two fabrics is mainly the dyeing process and sequence. In color-yarn dyed fabrics, this fabric is woven with dyed threads. That is to say, before making this fabric, the yarn used to make this fabric must be dyed. In fabric dye, these threads do not need to be dyed before weaving this fabric with yarns. The dyeing process of this fabric starts after the fabric is woven.

Yarn-dye fabric is woven with dyed threads. This kind of fabric is rich in color, and the color fastness is also high. It has a strong three-dimensional sense and is suitable for making clothes with strict colors. This kind of clothing is also very popular. Many people like yarn-dyed clothing when choosing clothes. This kind of clothing is rich in color and has high color fastness, but the price of this type of clothing is a little higher than that of ordinary fabric dyed cloth.
