Garment dyeing and denim washing services

Garment dyeing for knit and woven garments, and a full denim laundry with washes, tints and hand finishes. Every order is sampled first, run in bulk on the machine size that fits, then checked for shade.

Garment piece dyeing

We dye knit and woven garments in cotton, linen and blends as finished pieces, so a factory can sew in undyed fabric or yarn and colour the garments once the buyer confirms shades. The lab matches the target shade first; bulk then runs on the machine size that fits the lot.

Sweaters made from blended yarns are dyed as well, including acrylic with a cashmere-like hand.

Before and after the wash

Drag the handle to compare rigid denim with the same pair after an enzyme stone wash: a lighter mid blue, faded whiskers at the hips and softened seams.

Denim washes and finishes

Seven washes set the base shade; hand and special finishes add the wear. Combine them to match your standard, and we sample the look before bulk.

Washes

Shown from darkest to lightest, then tinted.

  • Close-up of jeans showing garment wash

    Garment wash

    A rinse that removes sizing and pre-shrinks the garment, keeping the deep original shade.

  • Close-up of jeans showing enzyme wash

    Enzyme wash

    Cellulase enzymes soften the fabric and fade it evenly, without stones.

  • Close-up of jeans showing stone wash

    Stone wash

    Tumbled with pumice stones for an abraded, worn-in look and a softer hand.

  • Close-up of jeans showing enzyme stone wash

    Enzyme stone wash

    Enzymes and stones together, for a stronger fade with controlled contrast.

  • Close-up of jeans showing snow wash

    Snow wash

    Pumice stones, foam balls or other special media soaked in oxidiser are tumbled dry with the garments, leaving a speckled fade.

  • Close-up of jeans showing acid wash

    Acid wash

    A strong oxidising wash for high-contrast, marbled light shades.

  • Close-up of jeans showing tinting

    Tinting

    A light dye over washed denim gives a vintage or dirty cast.

Hand and special finishes

Worked by hand at the finishing tables, before or after the wash.

  • Close-up of jeans showing whiskers

    Whiskers

    Fade lines across the hip and lap, like creases in jeans worn for years.

  • Close-up of jeans showing hand sanding

    Hand sanding

    High points such as thighs and seat are abraded by hand for natural wear.

  • Close-up of jeans showing cutting and destruction

    Cutting and destruction

    Rips, cuts and frayed edges placed to your pattern.

  • Close-up of jeans with strong localised fading on the front thighs from a monkey wash

    Monkey wash (PP spray)

    Potassium permanganate is sprayed on chosen areas such as the thighs, seat or pockets, then neutralised in the wash for a strong, localised fade.

  • Close-up of jeans showing resin crinkle

    Resin crinkle

    Resin is applied and the garment pressed and cured to hold 3D creases.

Sampling and lab dips for buyer approval

Every new shade or wash starts in the lab. We match your buyer's target on small dips, run approval samples on the 2, 5 and 8 lb machines, and only then load bulk. QC compares colour tone and shading against the approved sample in our two lightboxes.
