TECHNIQUE Mélange
Mélange yarns are made with top-dyed fibres of different shades, spun together, and are used to create heathered knitted fabrics. From the French word meaning ‘mixture’ or ‘medley’, the process of creating mélange fabrics has a smaller impact on the environment than dyeing a finished cloth.

Mélange yarns are made with top-dyed fibres of different shades, spun together, and are used to create heathered and luminous knitted fabrics.
From the French word meaning ‘mixture’ or ‘medley’, the process of creating mélanges has a smaller impact on the environment than dyeing a finished cloth.
Dyeing and blending fibres before spinning saves water and energy, reduces emissions and creates subtle variations that result in a much deeper, richer colour.
