Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A column from the Minnesota Weaver's "From Woods & Fields" series in which Connie Magoffin reports on dye samples sent by fellow dyers. It describes an unsuccessful pomegranate dyebath on wool and compares recipes from Krochmal and Ida Grae. It also covers Magoffin's method of testing a dyestuff on small fiber samples with the five standard mordants and an unmordanted sample, using a large amount of dye material. Results are given for burdock, velvet leaf, hemp, nettle, Virginia creeper, avocado pits, goldenrod, sumac and marigold.
