enter the yarn, turn briskly 7 turns, then a turn every 5 minutes; bring the Hquor to 

 a boil, and continue turning 90 minutes; cool the liquor, take out, and put 3 lbs. of 

 dissolved copperas in the liquor; enter again, turn seven or eight turns; if not deep 

 enough, use more copperas. 



Pattern No. 33. Crimson. 



50 lbs. weight. Boil up 8 lbs. of alum, 2 lbs. of red tartar, 1 lb. of sulphate of copper, 

 all in the kettle together; boil the yarn in that liquor 3 hours, take it out, and, if you 

 can allow it to remain 4 or 5 days without colouring, it will be a better colour. Put 

 the yarn into a barrel and cover it with coarse cloths to keep every part of it from dry- 

 ing; do not rinse it from the preparation. Then boil up 20 lbs. of good peachwood; 

 cool to 190 degrees of heat, enter, turn for 40 minutes. If not deep enough, use more 

 peachwood, and blue to pattern with urine in a warm kettle. 



Pattern No. 34. Yellow. 



50 lbs. weight of carpet yarn. 



Bring the dyeing kettle to one hundred and ninety degrees of heat ; put in 3 lbs. of quer- 

 citron bark (yellow oak bark), also 2 lbs. of alum, and 1 lb. of cream of tartar, two pints 

 of No. 2 tin liquor ; stir up all together with a large rake or stick ; allow the bark to settle 

 15 minutes, then cool the liquor; enter the yarn, handle until deep enough. If the colour 

 is not deep enough, use more bark, but do not allow the bark to boil. When bark boils, the 

 colour assumes a brown appearance, owing to the tanning matter naturally boiling out. 



Pattern No. 35. Light Blue. 



50 lbs. weight. Bring a kettle of water to 1 10 degrees of heat, and put in 8 oz. of sulphu- 

 ric acid, and use a little sulphate of indigo by degrees, until the colour is full enough. Do 

 not allow the kettle to exceed 120 degrees of heat; if you make your liquor any hotter, the 

 colour will assume a greenish appearance. 



Refined sulphate of indigo will dye the brightest light blues. If you dye light blue with 

 sulphate of indigo refined, observed to use alum instead of sulphuric acid. By dyeing with 

 sulphate of refined indigo, you may heat your liquor to 1 70 degrees without any green 

 appearance. 



Pattern No. 36. Common Pink. 



50 lbs. weight. Boil the yarn 2 hours in 5 lbs. of alum, and 1 lb. of orgil, (some dyers 

 term it red tartar,) then boil up about 10 lbs. of peachwood ; continue boiling 20 minutes, 

 cool the liquor to 160 degrees of heat, enter the yarn in the kettle, handle until deep 

 enough; observe to put in about 6 oz. of No. 3 tin liquor. 



Pattern No. 37. Beet Root. 



50 lbs. weight. Bring the kettle to a boil, put in 3 lbs. of good cochineal, ground fine in a 

 mill like a coffee mill, and 3 lbs. of cream of tartar, and two quarts of Tin Liquor No. 4, 

 and three lbs. of alum; boil all together 20 minutes, cool the liquor; enter the yarn; turn
