🐑 The process of dyeing use to be a complex and expensive undertaking. Wool could be dyed at several stages of its processing. There were three methods of dyeing...
🧶Stock dyeing- raw wool was packed into a perforated container and the dyes were pumped through. This made the colouring even and yielded the best results.
🧶Yarn dyeing- after wool was spun it was loosely hung on steal rods in a machine and the dyes rotated through the yarn. This process didn't allow for colour mixing, so colours were limited.
🧶Piece dyeing- ends of bolts of cloth were sewn together to form a band, then were rotated through a dye solution. This was the easiest and most commonly practiced method.
