Space Dyeing Techniques
"Space dyeing is a process of dyeing of yarn in which multiple colors are applied along the length of each strand of yarn which may or may not repeat after a fixed interval."

What is Space Dyeing? Its Mechanism and Applications.
Chemistry and Working Mechanism of Stabilizing Agents
The basic mechanism of stabilizer involves the stabilization of chemical reactions by inhibiting the reaction or slowing down the reaction. Here we will discuss the chemical nature and working mechanism of stabilizing agents.
What are Stabilizing Agents, their Types and Applications?
Stabilizer is basically something that stabilizes something such as a substance added to another substance to prevent an unwanted alteration of physical state of that substance.
Manufacturing of Viscose Rayon Fibers
Rayon fiber made from "viscose process" is called Viscose Rayon. Viscose Rayon is the oldest commercial manmade fiber. Viscose Rayon is a manufactured fiber composed of regenerated cellulose. Out of all the fibers produced, rayon is the most perplexing to consumers.
Structure and Properties of Viscose Rayon Fibers
The structure of rayon fiber is generally that of smooth, inelastic filaments like glass rods. However, different processes, additives and finishes can vary the physical appearance and structure of viscose rayon.
Methods of Preparation of Viscose Rayon Fibers (Filaments)
What is Fiber Science? Why it is Important?
Fiber science is a very important and fundamental field in textile. Fiber science deals with the physical, chemical and engineering properties of fibrous materials and their applications but mainly it deals with physical properties of fibers.
Raw Wool and its Impurities
Wool is the animal fiber forming the protective covering, or fleece, of sheep or of other hairy mammals, such as goats and camels. Prehistoric man, clothing himself with sheepskins, eventually learned to make yarn and fabric from their fiber covering. Selective sheep breeding eliminated most of the long, coarse hairs forming a protective outer coat, leaving the insulating fleecy undercoat of soft and fine fiber.
Structure of Protein Fibers(Wool)
The protein fibers are the fibers whose origin is protein. They are formed by the natural animal source through condensation of a (alpha)-amino acids to build repeating units of polyamide with many substituents on a (alpha)-carbon atom.
Differences between Woollen and Worsted Yarn Manufacturing Process
There is a large difference between the spinning and manufacturing process of both woollen and worsted yarn. These are the two different systems through which different grades of yarns are produced from the wool taken from different animals like sheep, alpaca, rabbits, goats and llama.
