The effect of dyeing tubes’ structure on the colour difference of yarns

Abstract

In the study, the effect of the structure of the dyeing tubes used in bobbin dyeing on the colour difference of the yarns was investigated. For this purpose, dyeing was done using 5 dyeing tubes with different dye permeability. Yarn samples were taken from the inner, middle and outer winding layers of the dyed bobbins. The colour difference of the yarns was measured with a spectrophotometer. It was observed that as the dye permeability of the dyeing tubes increased, the colour difference decreased and a more homogeneous dyeing was obtained. When the bobbins were evaluated in terms of diameter, it was seen that the colour difference was at least in the middle diameter. As the dye permeability increased, the colour distribution along the bobbin diameter became more homogeneous. In addition, it was determined that the colour difference decreased in fine yarn and high winding density.
