Mixed, multi-colored yarns, the fibers of which have been dyed in different shades of the same color before spinning.
interwoven yarns of mixed colors producing muted grayish shades with flecks of color
Yarn that is spun together using pre-colored (different colored) fibers, which are blended to give the desired effect.
A yarn that is spun using pre-dyed fibers. These fibers are blended together to give a particular look. (For example, black and white may be blended together to create a gray heathered yarn.) The term, heather, may also be used to describe the fabric made from heathered yarns.
A slight variation in color throughout the fabric.
Blended fibers combined to create a vari-colored effect; e.g. heather gray. Heathered fabric typically contains 3 fibers: cotton, polyester or rayon. In any of the garments that ALPHA carries an ASH or BIRCH or Heather Grey, Steel Grey, Light Steel, etc. (The name may vary per mill) these colors are NEVER 100% Cotton. Another fiber MUST be added with the cotton in order to achieve the necessary color. PLEASE NOTE: If a fabric contains 95% cotton it can be LEGALLY labeled 100% cotton, however, the mills that ALPHA carries will state the proper content on the garment label for these colors.
A yarn consisting of differently colored fibers that are blended together to give a soft, muted look.
