Melange yarn is dyed before spinning. The yarn is produced from color printed tops or slivers. The color bands are short enough that each fiber has multiple colors. This results in a heathered effect after spinning. Think of the individual hairs of a tabby cat. Individual hairs are banded so they contain both black and grey on the same hair. When the hair is brushed off the resulting effect is a heathered grey. You can dye something with a similar appearance by choosing a yarn of blended cellulose and protein fibers, such as Trekking's Pro Natura, which is a blend of wool and bamboo. These two fibers take dye at different rates. When dyed with an acid (protein) dye, the wool will take up more dye so it is darker than the bamboo fibers which take up less dye.

What is melange fleece?
Melange is a property of yarn (thread) being used to make a specific fabric, either knitted (for example fleece, jersey or pique) or woven (for example linen, shirting etc). Yarns having this property are made of dyed fibers i.e. fibers are dyed in various colors, mixed and then twisted into yarns. Any fabrics made of such yarns are melange fabrics, either woven or knitted. Therefore, any fleece made of melange yarn(s) is a melange fleece. Common examples are knitted hood shirts available in "Heather Grey" color.
What do you mean by gray melange?
Melange fabric : Fabric in which bands of colour are printed at intervals across a thick rope of slubbing of fibres prior to spinning. When the slubbing is attenuated during yarn manufacture, a very even blend of dyed and undyed fibre is produced and by this means, if black has been used, a grey yarn results.

Why top dyed yarn has variation?
Hi, To understand Top Dyed yarns, its necessary to know about Melange yarns first. A melage yarn is the yarn which is produced with various combinations of Raw White & Dyed Cottons or dyed fibres. For example, if we produce a yarn with 100% Cotton, then it will call as normal "Raw White" yarn, or Grey yarn or Natural colored yarn or acru yarn. Now if we mix 99% Raw White Cotton & 1% dyed Cotton (of any color), then it will called "Melange" yarn. Similarly, we can generate hundreds & hundreds of shades by mixing various % of Cottons with various ratios. All the formed yarns in same method will called "Cotton Melange Yarns". Now lets consider the following combinations 99% Raw White Cotton + 1% Black Polyester 98% Raw White Cotton + 2% Black Polyester 95% Raw White Cotton + 5% Black Polyester . . . can generate many many shades with different ratios of dyed polyester & in different colors. AND THE YARNS PRODUCED THROUGH THIS TECHNICES ARE CALLED AS "POLYESTER MELANGE YARNS", OR "HEATHER GREY YARNS" OR ALSO "TOP DYED" YARNS. Therefore, generally the melange yarns of dyed Polyester combinations are to be referred as "Top Dyed" yarns. But we cannot fix this definition specifically for "Top Dyed" also because there are many customers in Far-East countries, who has fixed the term "Top Dyed" for all kinds of Melange yarns. They never mention that whether these are Cotton Melanges or Polyester Melanges !!! Just for additional informations, Melange yarns can also be produced with other fibres too like Viscose, Rayon, Bamboo, Modal, Coolmax, Tancel, Soyabean, Cashmere, etc. Hope it will help. In addition to above answer, please also note that fabrics produced with Melange yarns (either from Cotton melange, heather grey, or else) are not dyed further usually to make garments and fabric is used as it is.

Is medium weight yarn equal to 4 ply yarn?
Most 4-ply yarns are medium-weight, which may carry the name worsted weight yarn. Ply is a complicated thing. Thickness and ply of yarn is different depending on where the yarn is manufactured. In the U.S. worsted weight is generally 4 ply. The number of plies is not always an indication of weight, however. It is just tells you how many strands are used in that type of yarn.
