Abstract
This chapter contains the introduction to knitwear chemical processing with special emphasis on dyeing theory and its practical implications. There is a lot of published material regarding the theory and kinetics of dyeing, which is quite complicated to understand, but in this chapter, a brief knowledge of theory is provided to the dyers who, by reading, can understand the relation of dyes and fibres in dyeing system and will be able to estimate the importance of its application in practical dyeing. Some important suggestions in practical dyeing are listed for dyers to consider for the improvement of dyeing quality and productivity. At the end of the chapter, sustainable approaches are also covered so that the industry can adopt them and may achieve sustainable development goals in a dyehouse.
