Melange (textile)

A melange (French: melange = mixture) is a yarn that is mixed and spun from different colored fibers . It is therefore a multicolored yarn. Melanges are usually produced in the color of the top. After the melange yarn has been processed into a textile surface, it appears fine / diffuse multi-colored, depending on the number of color components used. Yarn-colored melanges made of different dyeable fibers z. B. from wool / acrylic mixtures, are also technically feasible, but only provide two-tone, much simpler melange effects.
