This paper describes an industrial procedure developed for the application of dyes of good fastness properties, especially reactive dyes, to wool fabric by a pad‐batch technique, following the initial observations (7) that by dyeing from concentrated solutions of urea the rates of diffusion and of reaction of reactive dyes with wool are greatly increased. The chemical and mechanical developments necessary to apply this initial observation under practical dyeing conditions are described.
