Color, pattern, design, and / or the like is applied by means of a jet dye process, or any other secondary or post pattern application process, including but not exclusively, silk screen printing and rotary printing, etc., to a carpet substrate, where the yarn in the carpet is all white (no dye applied) or where the yarn is pre-dyed with a single or multiple colors or where the yarn is treated chemically. The carpet can, for example, be made with any conventional loom weaving process or hand weaving process, for example Wilton, Axminster, spool, spool gripper, and Chenille looms, hand gun tufted, or any other conventional method.

A production process and production equipment for pure cotton fabric with white space effect. The production process includes pretreatment, lye padding, dye paste scraping, stack cooling and fixation, and floating color washing. The dye paste scraping step refers to scraping a reactive dye paste on the back of pure cotton fabric subjected to lye padding. The stack cooling and fixation step refers to rolling up the pure cotton fabric scraped with the reactive dye paste; in the rolling process, isolating membranes are introduced to separate each layer of the cotton fabric, so that the reactive dye paste on the back of the pure cotton fabric to gradually diffuses, permeates, adsorbs to a right side, and finally reacts into bonds to fix the color. As the reactive dye is in a paste shape, diffusivity and permeability of the dye are limited to a certain extent that only part of the dye can reach the right side of the pure cotton fabric; in addition, the pure cotton fabric has bump woven texture; therefore, uniform and natural white space effect is formed on the right side.
