The current invention provides methods provides a novel process to dye polyester/natural fiber blends in an all in one step dyeing process. This all in one step dyeing process is enabled by pre-treatment of the fabric using one or more synthetic cationizing agents. The all in one dyeing is then able to be carried out at a lower temperature and a neutral pH, using a combination of disperse and reactive dyes.

A copolymer composition is disclosed with advantages for textile fibers, yarns, blended yarns, fabrics, and garments. The composition includes polyester copolymer, between about 4.5 and 5.5 percent adipic acid based on the amount of copolymer, between about 630 and 770 parts per million (ppm) of pentaerythritol based on the amount of copolymer, and between about 3.4 and 4.2 percent polyethylene glycol based on the amount of copolymer.
