Capable of being dyed; able to accept and retain dye color.
From the verb 'dye' (from Old English deag and Proto-Germanic daugjan) plus the suffix -able, meaning 'capable of being' something.
Not all fabrics are equally dyable—natural fibers like wool and cotton absorb dye much better than synthetic polyester, which is why tie-dye works great on cotton but fails on plastic!
