Ring dyeing of yarn with indigo dye to produce an improved white core. An outer surface of the yarn is scoured prior to applying the indigo dye, and then applying the indigo dye is applied. Scouring parameters of the dyeing are used to limit a penetration of the indigo into the white core, so that the white core has mostly sections of white yarn, and the yarn has indigo dye on the outer surface, said parameters comprising limiting scouring parameters to at least 10% below current parameters used to scour the yarn.

IMPROVED RING DYE PROCESS AND MATERIAL PRODUCED THEREOF
A denim material formed of cotton yarn material formed of a rounded cross section material, where the cotton yarn material has an outside perimeter area which is between 10 and 35% of the total depth of the rounded cross section area. The outside perimeter has been cleaned by a chemical process, and an inside portion and the cotton yarn material is not cleaned and has its original waxes and impurities. The outside perimeter of the cotton yarn that is cleaned is dyed with a dye. That dye penetrates more into the cleaned area of between 10 and 35% of the total depth of the rounded cross section area. Conversely, the dye penetrates less in the inside area than it does in the cleaned area, That cotton yarn material is woven with other cotton yarn materials, wherein the yarn material has a yarn twist from about between 4.4 and 4.6 twists per inch for warp yarns and 4.9 to 5.1 twists per inch for with weft yarns.

The present invention generally relates to a surface treatment of fabric with a laser and, more specifically, to a system and method for generating a pattern used to process a surface of a fabric through laser irradiation and the fabric resulting from such treatment. The present invention provides small laser spot sizes while operating a laser at large field size by 1) using a laser system with post-objective scanning architecture; 2) using multiple lasers across the width of a fabric roll; and/or 3) increasing the size and weight of the laser scanning mirrors. The spot size normally associated with a smaller laser field size (e.g. 500 mm) may be achieved with a laser having a larger field size (e.g. 950 mm or greater) by practicing the teachings of this invention.
