Color space-dyeing is a form of yarn dyeing which is again coming into use. It is an ancient craft to which different local names, such as tie-dyeing, have been applied. It refers to the coloring of yarns at intervals spaced along the yarn length . ... this form of dyeing arose spontaneously and became a part of the textile craft tradition. In many places, tie-dyeing methods were the only ones used to create pattern in a fabric. The Japanese, for instance until fairly recently used tie-dyed yarns for the warp and weft of fabrics to produce a diversity of interesting and popular designs. ... Developments in technique. ... mechanized methods have replaced the ancient laborious ones of applying color space-dyeing. 1, record 1, English, - color%20space%2Ddyeing

Aujourd’hui le chinage par impression a plutôt cédé la place au chinage par teinture beaucoup plus simple. Il suffit, en effet, de munir l'écheveau à teindre de ligatures ou d’attaches nombreuses qui tiennent fortement serrés les uns contre les autres les brins de l'écheveau. Lors du trempage des écheveaux dans le bac de teinture la matière colorante ne recouvre que les parties libres de l'écheveau laissant dans la nuance première toutes les parties serrées de l'écheveau. On défait ensuite les nœuds. Si l'on désire des chinés diversement coloriés, on le refait en des places différentes. 1, record 1, French, - chinage%20par%20teinture

Le chinage dit «à la branche» a été pratiqué dans la seconde moité du XVIII s. Suivant le dessin, les fils de la chaîne étaient regroupés et formaient ce que l’on appelait «les branches». Chaque branche, dont certaines parties avaient été ligaturées pour éviter la pénétration de la couleur, était teinte par immersion, puis remise sur le métier en ayant soin qu’elle fût convenablement juxtaposée. Cette technique coûteuse par la lenteur de son exécution a été remplacée, en 1816, par l’impression sur chaîne. 3, record 1, French, - chinage%20par%20teinture
