Alum your silk (see the article ALUM, &c. in the article CRIMSON) then tie up half a pound of Brasile in a bag to each pound of silk, and lay it in liquor for half an hour; then take it out, and put in an ounce of beaten turmerick; let the dye dissolve, and when it is cold, take out the silk, and put the bag in again with some lye; boil it again, and then take out the bag, and put in the silk, leaving it in till it is cold; then rinse it, and dry it.
