Dyed

Dyed fabrics are a rage in the international market and has gained worldwide recognition based on the sheer variety of natural and synthetic dyes available here, and the distinct types of dyeing methods employed in the textile industry. Dye is any substance, natural or synthetic, used to color various types of fabrics. Dyers use both types of dyes; natural as well as synthetic dyes for processing of fabrics.

Types Of Dyes
Dyes are classified also as acidic or basic according to the medium required in the dyeing process. A vat dye, e.g., indigo, is so called from the method of its application; it is first treated chemically so that it becomes soluble and is then used for coloring materials bathed in a vat. Although some materials, e.g., silk and wool, can be colored simply by being dipped in the dye, others, including cotton, commonly require the use of a mordant that fixes the dye to the fiber.

Techniques
There are various widely acclaimed dyeing techniques for a variety of fabric, in which the dyers transfer colors, images or designs to the fabric and textile through various dyeing techniques. Tie dye & batik is famous dye. Batik is a method of dyeing fabric using removable wax on the parts of the fabric where dye is not required. Tie dye is a method of dyeing fabric after knotting or rubber banding it to produce interesting and irregular patterns.
