Keratin fibers, particularly wool fibers, constitute an important natural raw material in the textile field due to its comfort and thermal proprieties. Filling a gap in the literature, this book covers all general topics related to the dyeing and printing of wool, wool blends, and other keratin fibers.

The production of textile materials comprises a very large and complex global industry that utilises a diverse range of fibre types and creates a variety of textile products.

Colour is a sensation and as such it is a subjective and incommunicable quantity. Colour measurement is possible because we can create a correspondence between colour sensations and the light radiations that stimulate them.

This accessible book aims to provide undergraduate and graduate students in textiles, clothing, fashion and design as well as professionals with a solid understanding of the basic science and technology of practical coloration which is essential for working in the textile design and manufacturing industry.
