Description
“Every frugal housewife has frequent occasion to resort to Dyeing to restore faded but slightly worn garments and other articles of dress to the original or some other color, as well as to color yarns. But she has not always at hand the proper directions for making the dyes.
In the following pages are such direction and recipes as will be found of great value in preparing the garments for and giving them the desired color. It will be observed that separate directions are given for Cotton and Wool as it frequently happens that the bath intended for woolens will not color cotton the desired shade.
This department contains a list of reliable and trustworthy recipes for all colors that can be made without the aid of an experienced dyer. The proportions are generally in such quantities as are needed most. In the fixation of color upon cloth, recourse is often had to a mordant, which acts as a middle agent and attaches the color to the cloth.”
What’s included:
- Dyeing cotton.
- How to treat the fabrics.
- Directions for all leading colors.
- Dyeing woolens aniline colors.
- Coloring straw hats.
- How to make mordants.
