German term

Küpenfärbung

German to English Marketing Textiles / Clothing / Fashion process
A process for dying yarn. From the sentence "Alle Garne werden bei uns natürlich Indanthren oder Küpen gefärbt." I am not particularly fond of the German, but this is the original.

... I did not kick the answer, and yes, I was looking for the process, but one that was clearly defined by the dye, not the vat. Kim has since then added a link which explains it nicely. Thanks, Kim. If I used the wrong way to get more info from Kim, I apologise, but I am not the most frequent user of this site, so keep your hat on.

If you are looking for K�penfarbstoff (= vat dye, e.g. Vat Yellow), see http://www.omikron-online.de/cyberchem/cheminfo/indigo.htm for more information.
Perhaps you would reopen the question and grade Kim's answer as correct.
Gillian Scheibelein Jun 30, 2004:
Its a shame you kicked Kim's answer out because it is correct - K�penf�rbung (= process, not the type of dye) is your question and vat dyeing is the answer.
