multi-colored stripes; gradient dyeing
Refers to a dyeing technique that produces horizontal bands of different colors, often seen in yarn or fabric.
This yarn is space-dyed, so beautiful patterns appear just by knitting it.
The space-dyeing technique creates distinctive stripes by dyeing sections of the yarn different colors.
Standard spelling.
Abbreviated form, often used in technical or commercial contexts.
Compound of 段 (dan, 'step' or 'tier') and 染め (some, 'dyeing'), referring to the step-like bands of color produced by this dyeing method.
