Part VIII of Charles Pellew's series on silk dyeing in The Craftsman covers skein dyeing with acid dyes, finishing and lustering, and dyeing silk black with logwood. It explains how silk is weighted with tin salts, iron, tannin and other chemicals, how to test for weighting by burning, and the effect on durability. It closes with advice for amateurs and craftsmen on using acid, salt (direct) and sulphur dyes on silk, including how to neutralize sulphur dye baths and obtain blacks without logwood.
