This textile applies chromatography, a technique for separating substances invented by the Russian botanist Mikhail Tsvett. Dyeing originally refers to the absorption and fixation of dyestuffs to the yarn. However, in this work, the dyestuffs move through the yarn at different times due to each dye's differences in charge, mass, and hydrophobicity. Maintaining the humidity and moisture levels prevents this separation, allowing movement and thus the color changes dynamically even after the dye has penetrated the yarn.
