A 1931 trade article by N. D. White on producing multicolored patterns in finished fabrics by cross-dyeing mixed fibers (silk, cotton, rayon, acetate/celanese, wool) in the piece. It gives dye-bath procedures and sample formulas for two-color effects using direct, acid and sulphur dyes, plus notes on degumming and the risks of saponifying acetate. It also touches on multicolored hosiery and includes one magnified photograph of a two-fiber thread.
