A dyeing process includes weaving patterns on a textile of nylon, CD yarn and polyester; pouring acidic dye, cationic dye and dispersive dye into a dyeing machine; adding auxiliary coloring agent, homogeneous coloring agent and coloring retardant into the dyeing machine wherein the auxiliary coloring agent is prepared by adding 1 g of acetic acid to 1 liter of water to form a solution which is adjusted to have a pH between 4 and 5; the homogeneous coloring agent is prepared by adding 1 g of homogeneous coloring agent to 0.1 kg of textile; and the color retardant is prepared by adding 1 g of sodium sulfate to 1,000 g of water; putting the textile in the dyeing machine to dye as a finished textile. Each pattern woven by a different textile material has a color corresponding to the applied dye. The color of patterns is the color of the dye applied to the patterns.

This invention relates to a printed textile substrate, such as a floorcovering article, and a process for making a printed textile substrate. The printed textile substrate contains areas of low viscosity printing ink and high viscosity printing ink. The process for making the textile substrate includes a one pass manufacturing step that results in a textile substrate having areas of low viscosity and high viscosity printing inks.

A textile material comprises a plurality of yarns, the yarns containing an intimate blend of dyed polyphenylene sulfide fibers and aramid fibers. The dyed polyphenylene sulfide fibers comprising a disperse dye that is distributed substantially evenly across the cross-sectional area of the fibers. A method for dyeing textile materials containing polyphenylene sulfide fibers comprises the steps of (a) providing a plurality of polyphenylene sulfide fibers and aramid fibers; (b) spinning the blend of fibers into a plurality of yarns; (c) forming the yarns into a textile material; (d) subjecting the textile material to a polyphenylene sulfide dyeing process.

Yarns are described herein which, in some embodiments, comprise plies or single strands dyed with at least one vat dyestuff yielding a tweed or heathered appearance. In one aspect, a yarn comprises a first ply and a second ply each dyed with at least one vat dyestuff, wherein a difference in color depth (DL*) between the dyed first single strand and the dyed second single strand has an absolute value of at least 2 when the vat dyestuff is in an oxidized state. As described further herein, the first ply and the second ply are dyed in the same dyebath. In another aspect, a yarn comprises a first ply and a second ply each dyed with at least one vat dyestuff, wherein a reflectance ration between the second ply and the first ply ranges from 0.05 to 0.95.

A textile material comprises a plurality of yarns, wherein the yarns contain an intimate blend of dyed polyphenylene sulfide fibers and cellulosic fibers. The dyed polyphenylene sulfide fibers comprise a disperse dye that is distributed substantially evenly across the cross-sectional area of the fibers. A method for dyeing textile materials containing polyphenylene sulfide fibers comprises the steps of (a) providing a textile material comprising yarns which contain an intimate blend of polyphenylene sulfide fibers and cellulosic fibers, (b) providing a dye liquor comprising a liquid medium and a disperse dye, (c) applying the dye liquor to the textile material, (d) heating the textile material under ambient atmosphere to a temperature sufficient to evaporate substantially all of the liquid medium from the textile material, and (e) heating the textile material under ambient atmosphere to a temperature of about 180? C. or more to fix the disperse dye to the polyphenylene sulfide fibers.
