Top Dyeing

Top-dyed wool yarn is highly sought after for all kinds of applications from men’s suits to hiking socks. As the only sales yarn mill in the US that performs top dyeing, MSYG uses premium wool wound into 18-20 pound circular packages of top that are then dyed and spun to meet our customers’ specifications.
