Israel-based start-up Twine Solutions has developed an innovative digital thread dyeing system that dyes a single, white, off-the-shelf thread in any colour for any desired length. The company's Digital Selective Treatment (DST), a waterless eco-friendly technology, can go into shade variations on demand. It looks into colour gradients within seconds using proprietary inks.

Speaking about the technology, Yariv Bustan, vice president, product & marketing, Twine Solutions told Fibre2Fashion, "DST, Twine's award-winning technology, is application-agnostic in essence, which enables us to address different stitching or processing machines. You can load a white off-the-shelf spool into the system and get a coloured spool. You can use this spool either for sewing, knitting, embroidery, weaving or other purposes."

"DST allows you to achieve millions of colours and shades through specialised inks and colour management algorithms that vouch for a large gamut of shades and accurate colours. The transformation is done with ease," added Bustan when asked about colour ranges in the dyeing process.

Twine Solutions is using the technology on polyester-type yarns and threads. In future, it will work on nylon and other material.
