Coloured Top Making


Worsted spinners continue to rely on Bulmer & Lumb coloured top makers for colour and re-combing expertise acquired over many years.

Coloured top production is ideally suited for mixtures up to 10,000 kilos per lot. More than one unit can be blended into the drawing operation to produce larger volumes suitable for uniform and corporate wear manufacture.

The close liaison between dyer and colour matcher, supported by the most sophisticated colour computer equipment and rigorous quality checks throughout processing, ensures very accurate colour matches from batch to batch.

These skills have contributed to Bulmer & Lumb's reputation as a coloured topmaker particularly in the area of 'mix and match' where colour repeatability is essential.

Wool knitwear which is pre-treated to ensure its suitability for machine washing in later garment form is preferred when top dyed. It offers greater fastness properties and superior repeatability than other dyeing routes.


It is Bulmer & Lumb's policy to work closely with customers developing qualities and colours before their final
selection for the season.
