processes for producing multicolor crossdyed cellulosic fabrics which are fully or partly crosslinked are disclosed . these processes include : crosslinking preselected areas of fabric with a grafted cationic group and leaving other areas untreated ; immersing the fabric in an acidic anionic dyebath to dye the cationic areas and then immersing in a different colored , alkaline , unreactive dyestuff dyebath to dye the untreated areas and produce a bicolored fabric , crosslinking fabric areas with a grafter cationic group and then the remaining areas with an anionic group ; immersing in an acidic , anionic dyebath to dye the cationic areas and the immersing in a different colored cationic dyebath to dye the anionic areas and produce bicolored fabric , and preselecting and treating areas of fabric to be cationic , anionic and untreated ; immersion dyeing as above the cationic , untreated and then the anionic areas of fabric to produce a multicolored fabric .
