Checking the color and concentration of the dye
The fabric is dyed with a dye of 70 degrees centigrade. During dyeing, it is checked many times to see if the fabric is dyed well, and the fabric is gradually dyed to match the color according to the color sample. When the fabric is dyed to a satisfactory color, it is rinsed with water and dehydrated to complete the dyeing process.
After dehydrating the fabric, the fabric is dried in the drying room.
The white has been dyed in different colors. It will take some time to complete, but all the craftsmen will do their best as a team!
Next, in #7, this dyed fabric will be untied.
