Dyed yarn fabrics get their distinctive appearance and feel from how they are woven. The yarns (threads) are dyed first, and then the cloth is woven. Often a few different weights or textures of yarn (thread) are woven into the cloth to create a more textured fabric. Weaving with dyed threads means the colour is embedded in the fabric and will not fade off the surface with washing. In most cases it also means both sides of the fabric can be used as the 'right' side, although each side will usually look slightly different.
