Abstract:

The behaviour of disperse dyes on wool has been reappraised, with the main emphasis on the effect that blend ratios have on the degree of cross-staining. It has been found that whilst dyestuff selection is generally unchanged, the dyeing method must be changed completely in order to achieve good results. Blends containing 50% or less of wool may be dyed successfully by a one-bath method, but wool-rich blends need to be dyed by a novel two-bath method. The results of these studies, and the dyeing method that is being proposed, are discussed.
