What Is Spacedyeing?

Spacedyeing is a technique where yarn is dyed in multiple colors along its length, creating a sequence of hues that shift and blend as the fabric is woven or knitted. Unlike traditional solid or patterned textiles, spacedyed fabrics offer an organic, painterly quality. Every piece is unique, making it a favorite for creative designers and bold homeowners alike.
