We have in several preceding chapters treated of both cotton and silk; we shall here treat of certain processes and colours relative to both these substances, which are most conveniently arranged in this chapter.
The simpler processes for cotton will be found in the second chapter, the more complex in the fifth; the simpler processes for silk are given in the third chapter, the more complex in the fifth; the remaining processes for both in the present chapter , will conclude the work.
To dye skein cotton yellow.
The same operations as those in the first common red dye are to be used here; to one pound of cotton four ounces of roche alum, and from one to four pounds of weld.
When dyed the cotton is to be worked in hot, but not, boiling, liquor, consisting of four ounces of sulphate of copper to every pound of cotton; it is then to be boiled for three hours in a solution containing four ounces of soap to every pound of cotton.
When a dark or jonquil colour is wanted, no alum is used; of weld take two pounds and a half, very little verdigris, or a little alum in its stead, but nothing else. For brightening, however, boiling in a solution of soap is in all cases necessary.
