The colour and handle of a textile product is one of its most important aesthetic properties. However, dyeing and finishing wool can be challenging to the unskilled - though learning modern dyeing and finishing practices that are firmly based on a systematic, scientific approach assures the enhancement of wools natural qualities.
This course will provide participants with a theoretical understanding of modern wool dyeing and finishing methods and will provide clear guidance on how these principles are translated into practical processing procedures. Considerable emphasis will be placed on the necessity of testing and objective measurement as the criteria for evaluating the success of procedures and meeting customer requirements. As this is an intensive course consisting of comprehensive and detailed practical information, participants are expected to be industry practitioners and professionals.
