Abstract: A first yarn (21) undergoes a pretreatment process (22) for saturation with a pretreatment solution. In the pretreatment process, the first yarn is supplied to continuously travel through a first bath (100.sub.2) and a second bath (100.sub.3) of the pretreatment solution. The first bath has a volume (V.sub.2) which is less than a volume of the second bath (V.sub.3). Between the first and second baths the pretreatment solution is impressed into the continuously moving first yarn. After the second bath only excess pretreatment solution is removed from the moving yarn, thereby keeping the yarn saturated when it enters a heat treatment (42) for locking the pretreatment solution into the yarn. The first yarn can be subsequently dyed in the same operation or maintain its original appearance (either colored or non-colored). The first yarn can be a warp yarn or weft yarn which, together with either a second yarn (weft or warp yarn, treated or untreated), is woven into a fabric piece (26).

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for monitoring the application of dye to a traveling web of textile material. The apparatus includes a color characteristic detecting assembly which is movable between an initial detecting position in which it detects a color characteristic of the textile material web shortly after the web has emerged from a dye liquor bath and a post-drying detecting position in which it detects a color characteristic of the textile material web after the web has been handled in a drying device.
