FACILITIES

Sample dyeing (Azo-free dyes) facility of silk yarn in the hank form, with lot size of 5 Kgs, is being provided with the help of Arm Spray Hank Dyeing Machine so that dyeing is carried out under controlled conditions for achieving better results. The facility of natural /vegetable dyeing of Pashmina shawls, stoles has also been introduced by the Institute. Design Library enriched with Books/ Magazines and other related publications, including documentation reports of various studies, projects conducted/ implemented by the Institute are available for reference and use.
