Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short column from the Minnesota Weaver series "From Woods & Fields" in which Connie Magoffin reports her experiments dyeing wool with the skins of blue concord-type grapes, following recipes from Ida Grae's Nature's Colors. She describes the dyepot, the mordants tested (alum, tin, copper, chrome, iron, and unmordanted), and the resulting blues, violets and greens. A results chart compares her samples with Grae's, and she outlines further experiments she plans.
