How is the fiber dyed in Wool crepe?

• A. garment dyed
• B. yarn dyed
• C. fiber dyed
• D. piece dyed

Answer: (C)

Coloring at the fiber stage means the dye is applied to the fibers before they are spun into yarn. In Wool crepe, the color is integrated into the fiber, so the finished fabric has a uniform, deep color throughout, even with the textured surface created by the yarn’s twist. If the dye were applied to the yarn, you’d get a yarn-dyed effect with potential variations along the yarns; dyeing after weaving (piece dyeing) would color the fabric surface rather than the core fibers; dyeing the finished garment (garment dyeing) colors the whole constructed item, not the fabric itself. So fiber dyeing is the correct way to describe how Wool crepe is colored.
