Color Wool Yarn by Applying Pigment Within the Fiber Bundle

Woolmark describes COLOURizd QuantumCOLOUR as a yarn-coloring process that introduces pigment and binder into the fiber bundle. Greige yarn moves continuously through the treatment and then a drying and curing unit. The method can create different depths of color and texture for wool or wool-blend yarns.

The reference presents the technology as using less water than conventional routes and describes testing for colorfastness and durability. Its applications include both knitted and woven textiles, because the color is added at the yarn stage. This makes it a production-route distinction: the resulting wool material still needs a separate description of its eventual fabric construction and intended use.
