Pattern No. 2. Light Drab. 



Of 50 lb. wt. 



Bring the kettle to 120 degrees for this shade. First put in 1 lb. of red tartar, ground; 

 then enter the yarn; observing that 1 lb. of fustick and 6 oz. of camwood will produce 

 the colour, by using one half of the quantity in the kettle before you enter the goods. 

 Turn all colours briskly for 7 turns; then allow 5 minutes' interval between the turns. 

 This is a regular system, practised on carpet yarn. 



Lift out the carpet yarn. There ought to be bearers over every kettle on which to hang 

 the yarn, when you take it out, so as to be high enough to keep the yarn from reaching 

 into the kettles. When you think the dye stuff is well nigh spent, take out. Put in the 

 remainder of the dye stuff; bring the kettle to 170 degrees of heat, put in the yarn, 

 handle until deep enough; add or diminish the drugs as you see necessary, the quality 

 of drugs, as I ha\e already observed, being very different. 



Pattern No. 3. 



50 pounds weight. 



This colour is dyed on the same method as No. 2, by using 1 lb. of red tartar, 24 ozs. 

 of camwood, 1 lb. of ground fustick. Enter the goods in the kettle 140 degrees of heat; 

 handle 7 turns, then a turn every 5 minutes. 



In dyeing either drab worsted yarn or wove cloth, do not use or put in all the drugs 

 at once, for fear of your shade being uneven. When the drugs already used are almost 

 on the goods, use the other half; keep in until deep enough. I do not wish to allow the 

 kettle to boil with the yarn in it for any light drab. 



Pattern No. 4. Red Drab. 



50 lbs. weight. 



Put in the dye drugs at 140 degrees, which is a regular standard heat to enter drabs, 

 or 150 at most. 1 lb. of red tartar, 44 ozs. of camwood, 24 ozs. of fustick. 



Enter but half the drugs for the first 30 minutes. Lift up on the bearers; then put in 

 the other half, and heat up the kettle according as the colour requires. 



Pattern No. 5. Mazarine Blue. 



Of 50 lbs. weight. 



Bring the kettle to 120 degrees of heat, use about a pint of sulphate of indigo and 8 

 ozs. of sulphuric acid, both together; handle at that heat 7 turns. Heat up to 150 degrees; 

 take out; run off the liquor; fill the kettle with clean water; bring up to a boil; then 

 put in 1 lb. of ground logwood; wash or rinse the yarn in cold water; put it on the poles 

 over the kettle ; cool the liquor, and use about half a pint of No. 2 tin liquor, as is used 

 for logwood purple cotton spirit. Stir up the liquor, go 7 turns; if deep enough, take out. 



Pattern No. 6. Light Drab. 



50 lbs. of this light drab. Enter the dye stuff at 100 degrees of heat. Use 1 lb. of red 

 tartar; 4 ozs. of fustick, and 4 ozs. of good madder. Enter the goods, go 7 turns; lift out;
