Abstract: The variation in colour uniformity (ΔE) of dyed fabrics has been measured by spectrophotometer. Difference in micronaire value, maturity ratio and fluorescence have been identified as the major fibre properties which influence shade variation in dyed fabrics. A comprehensive study has been carried out to establish the limits for variation in above fibre properties of the mixing used for spinning yarns in order to maintain high level of colour uniformity in dyed fabrics. Image processing technique was employed in the study for assessing cotton fibre maturity. Fibre properties of cotton mixing for maintaining acceptable ΔE of 1 in dyed fabrics have been suggested using prediction expression connecting fibre properties with ΔE. It has also been observed that the fabrics made out of man-made fibres exhibit shade variation after dyeing. The extent of ΔE value in these fabrics, as measured by spectrophotometer, has been found to be around 0.5.
