Blue Dye for Hosiery

One hundred pounds of wool are colored with 4 pounds Guatemala or 3 pounds Bengal indigo in the soda or
wood vat. Then boil in a kettle a few minutes, 5 pounds of cudbear or 8 pounds of archil paste; add 1 pound of soda,
or, better, 1 pail of urine; then cool the dye to about 170° F, and enter the wool. Handle well for about 20 minutes, and
then take it out, cool, rinse. And dry. It makes no difference whether the cud hear is put in before or after the indigo.
Three ounces of aniline, purple dissolved in alcohol, ½ pint, can be used instead of the cud bear. Wood spirit is
cheaper than alcohol, and is much used by dyers for the purpose of dissolving aniline colors. It produces a very
pretty shade, but should never be used on mixed goods which have to be bleached.
