For 40 pounds of goods, take bichromate of potash, 8 ounces;
alum. 1 pound; dissolve all and bring the water to a boil, and put in the
goods; boil 1 hour. Then empty the dye, and make a new dye with logwood, 8

longer. Grade the color by using more or less Longwood, as dark or light
color is wanted. |
