In-House Dyeing, Built Around Your Requirements
Cansew has operated its dye house since 1960, developing and refining dye formulations across a wide range of fibres, yarns, and end uses.
We provide commission dyeing as part of that capability. Customers can supply their own yarns, work from our in-house selection, or rely on us to help source materials when needed.
Colour can be selected from our stock range or developed through custom matching based on a physical sample or reference.
