Dyeing delicate cashmere is special and risky
In the process of making yarns of cotton, wool and sheep other than cashmere, the dyeing process is usually done after the spinning of the yarn. In the case of cashmere, "spinning" is done after "wadding" is dyed. This is called "wadding dyeing, yarn dyeing, top dyeing," etc.
Cashmere is a particularly delicate material, so dyeing after twisting and spinning the yarn takes a long time and damages the delicate cashmere. This may cause the cashmere to lose its unique soft texture, so we dye the cashmere at the "wadding" stage.
The earlier the dyeing process, the higher the risk. If the wadding is dyed red in the top-dyeing process, the yarn will be red, and of course, the product will also be red. If the yarn is dyed one step later, the risk is much lower than top-dyeing because the yarn can be dyed either red or blue at the yarn stage.
Top-dyed cashmere is the most risky dyeing method in terms of dyeing, but even if we take such a risk, we still dye the cashmere with top-dyeing and value the delicacy and softness of the cashmere.
