A weaving machine includes a yarn winding mechanism for winding and unwinding undyed yarns, and a yarn coloring mechanism including a hot roller, inner and outer layer color paper tape winding devices for winding and unwinding inner and outer layer color paper tapes, respectively, and a packing paper winding device for winding and unwinding a packing paper. The inner and outer layer color paper tapes are configured to clamp therebetween the undyed yarns. A squeezing device includes a closed loop belt movably pressing the packing paper against the hot roller such that inks of the inner and outer layer color paper tapes are transferred to the undyed yarns. A back-end system is configured to weave or wind the dyed yarns.

Apparatus and method for washing an elongate textile article of extended indeterminate length utilizes a containment structure defining a channel extending upwardly from a lower end to an upper end thereof, with a plurality of undulations spaced-apart from one another within the channel between the lower and upper ends thereof, each undulation extending transversely across the channel. A portion of the lengthwise extent of the traveling textile article is advanced transiently within the channel upwardly from the lower end to the upward end and across the undulations, while a substantially continuous supply of cleansing liquid enters the channel at the upper end to flow downwardly against the upwardly traveling portion of the textile article for cleansing thereof.
