A fabric dyeing machine (3) comprises a travelling tube (39), a storage chamber (36) in communication with both ends of the travelling tube to form an endless travel path for an endless fabric rope (34), a nozzle (38) operable to propel an endless fabric rope around the travel path by directing jets of dye liquor onto the endless fabric rope; and an outer vessel (35) enclosing both the storage chamber (36) and the travelling tube (39). The outer vessel (35) may define the storage chamber, with the travelling tube located inside the outer vessel. The travelling tube (39) and/or the storage chamber (36) may be elongate and arranged along a slope at a few degrees to the horizontal, for example 3 to 5 degrees. A second travelling tube and nozzle can share the storage chamber to give a second endless travel path for the second endless fabric rope.
