The new Basolan AS process for wool dyeing is described. The process restricts the deterioration of wool properties that occurs as a result of dyeing. This is achieved through a reduction in the extent to which wool is permanently set during dyeing. Two options are available to the dyer involving the addition of antisetting chemicals to the wool dyebath. Processing and product benefits can be obtained for wool dyed as loose fibre, top, yarn (package or hank) and woven fabric.
