<p>A first dye is applied to spaced regions of a tufted carpet and a second dye is then applied to a substantially larger area of the dye including the spaced regions covered by the first dye. The second dye is absorbed by the carpet in the regions outside of the already dyed regions. But the second dye has a viscosity sufficiently lower than the viscosity of the first dye that the fibers in the spaced regions are substantially masked from and substantially do not absorb the second dye. The carpet is then steamed to fix the dyes to the yarn.</p> |
