A method of finishing a textile comprising the steps of: (a) preparing an aqueous finishing liquor comprising from 0.05 wt. % solids to 65 wt. % solids of a finishing resin selected from the group comprising: vinyl acetate emulsion resins, including copolymers such as vinyl acetate ethylene emulsions, vinyl acetate acrylics, acrylic emulsions, polyvinyl alcohol resins, including polyvinyl alcohol vinyl formamide copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol vinyl amine copolymers, sulfonic acid functionalized polyvinyl alcohol resins, modified polyvinyl alcohol resins generally; and mixtures thereof; (b) saturating the textile with the finishing liquor to incorporate the liquor into the textile so as to provide a wetted textile; and (c) processing the wetted textile at elevated temperature under conditions which are controlled such that the finishing resin is inter-associated with the fibers of the textile; wherein the finishing resin is durably and uniformly inter-associated with the textile fiber surfaces at an add-on level of from 0.05 wt. % to less than 65 wt. % and is operative to alter at least one comfort-related property of the textile.

Disclosed herein is the preparation of indigo-dyed cotton denim fabrics suitable for use in making cotton denim garments and other denim articles. These indigo-dyed fabrics are prepared from cotton warp yarn which has been pre-treated with an emulsion copolymer prior to being contacted with an aqueous dye liquor comprising a dispersion of an indigo dyestuff. Such copolymer-treated cotton warp yarn can be woven or knitted into cotton denim griege fabrics along with untreated cotton weft yarn. Such griege denim fabric can then be indigo-dyed using the aqueous dye liquor. Alternatively, the emulsion copolymer-treated cotton warp yarn can be indigo-dyed by contact with the aqueous dye liquor before this warp yarn is incorporated into denim fabric along with the untreated cotton weft yarn. The cotton denim fabric produced by either method has the appearance of conventional ring-dyed indigo fabrics.

A process for dyeing textile fibers employs a colorant medium comprising a disperse dye and an aqueous dispersion of a copolymer selected from vinyl ester-based copolymers, alkyl acrylate copolymers, alkyl methacrylate copolymers and mixtures thereof. The textile fibers are passed through at least one dye bath containing the colorant medium to deposit the colorant medium at least on the surface of the fibers. The fibers with the colorant medium deposited thereon are then passed between padding rollers to distribute the colorant medium through the fibers, whereafter the fibers are heated to cure the copolymer and bond the disperse dye to the fibers.
