Whether the goods be cloth, or skeins of yarn, they must, in all cases, be first wetted out and wrung, and then put into the vat, worked in it, taken out and aired, that they may turn from green to blue; and, if necessary, they must be put in again.
There is no difficulty in dyeing dark blues, by repeated dippings; but if light blues be dyed in vats which are nearly exhausted, they will not be bright.
Blue vats, upon a large scale, are now mostly heated by steam; they are then, with little trouble, always in a state for working, without the necessity of re-heating. They are very convenient for light colours, even after they become very weak. In some instances, in order to dye light colours to the best advantage, it would be advisable to set a vat on purpose, which should be strong in woad and weak in indigo; because the colour would be given more slowly, and the light colour obtained from them with much more facility.
