FTS Dyers is the largest UK-based package yarn dyeing facility, serving both the UK and Europe. With 39 dyeing machines, we specialise in custom dye recipes for all fibre types, offering flexibility with no minimum order quantities.
Our Legacy
With over 75 years of experience, FTS Dyers is a leading UK-based yarn dyeing facility, offering tailored solutions for all fibre types: wool, blends, luxury proteins, synthetics, and cellulosics. As yarn dyers, FTS invests in technology and sustainability, pioneering the use of bio-based, biodegradable chemicals. Backed by The SIL Group, we continue to innovate while upholding our legacy of quality and expertise.
Match Your Colour
We can match any colour using physical samples, Pantone references, or QTX files, which are processed in the lab to create a 5-gram test hank for your approval. Once approved, we scale production from 1kg up to 800kg, offering limitless options for colour and fibre combinations.
Our Expertise As Yarn Dyers
FTS Dyers offers a reliable, UK-based solution for high-quality coloured yarn. Our on-site winding and twisting facilities ensure we can deliver yarn in your preferred package, whether on PSDP or re-wound onto cones. Additionally, we offer bespoke colour twist combinations to create unique finishes.
With three chartered colourists holding ASDC certifications and a technician with a TCC, all trained through the Society of Dyers and Colourists, we bring deep technical expertise to every project, ensuring the highest standards of colour accuracy and consistency.
