The aim of this study was to carry out triple dyeing of woven polyester/cationic dyeable polyester/viscose rayon blend fabrics with the required colour fastness and physical properties. The feel and final appearance of the fabric were achieved by partial removal of the viscose rayon moiety of the fabric through optimised causticisation treatments. The results of the triple dyeings obtained from laboratory and small-scale experiments were successfully scaled up in authentic processing equipment. The final product, which has a yarn-dyed effect, readily satisfied the requirements related to the colour fastness and physical properties.
