Dyeing
Dyeing process is done to give the wool a colour. The yarn is dyed with chemical colors. Different types of colors are used according to the products to be weaved. Colour powder is purchased from Amritsar in Punjab. The process begins with heating water at the temperature of 60 degree. Due to abundant availability of wood, it is used as fuel. Powder is mixed with water and acidic acid is poured into the boiling water. Then the yarn is dipped into the dying solution and soaked for few minutes to absorb color at the same temperature. Later the yarn is taken out and kept for drying at room temperature to avoid fade.
