Ionized performance fabric

Ionized performance fabric composition

Open end spun cotton yarns are ring dyed with a thickened dyebath to limit dye penetration to the outer circumference of the yarn leaving a substantial undyed core. Stonewashed indigo dyed denim fabrics and garments are prepared.

Reduced indigo dye penetration

Cotton denim fabrics are treated to enhance abrasion and shade reduction thereby reducing stonewashing time and expense by embrittling the fibers with an acid, heat-activated finish.
