Yarn printing is a process that applies dyes or pigments to localized areas of yarn to produce color designs. It is also known as space dyeing, which colors specific lengths of yarn individually by injecting colored dye. The yarn is dyed one space at a time through a process of dye application, steam fixation, washing, and drying. This printing technique is used to create patterns on the warp yarns of a fabric before weaving with a plain white filling yarn, resulting in a soft, blurred design on the finished fabric. Yarn printing is used for expensive fabrics like upholstery and cretonnes due to the careful labor required.

3.  Yarn printing is the application of dyes or
pigments on the localized area of the yarn by
any method which can produce particular effect
of color on the yarn or onto a yarn package
according to the design.
 Yarn printing is also known as “Space Dyeing”.

4.  Space dyeing is a process in which yarn is colored
in one by one space by injection of colored dyestuff
that means in a specific length of yarn. The
essential process sequence begins with dye liquor
application, followed by steam fixation, washing-
off and drying .

5.  This involves printing the warp yarns of a fabric before
weaving.
 The fabric is woven with a solid color filling, usually
white.
 Fine white or neutral colored filling yarns are
generally used for weaving so that the design on the
warp will not be obscured.
 The result is a soft, shadowed, blurred design on the
fabric.
 These prints are found on high quality, costly fabrics
because it requires careful, meticulous labor.
