Then come dye recipes and methods for dyeing cotton and wool, all using natural dyes.

For this edition Rita J. Adrosko, Curator of the Division of Textiles of the National Museum of History and Technology, has written a helpful introduction containing information on how best to make use of this volume as well as a short glossary of terms.

An interesting look at early textile production methods and materials
This book is an interesting historical document relating to the industrialization of traditional processes in textile production. I have found many elements of this book to be both surprising and informative, and the content has given me a few ideas about fiber prep and dye experiments (and more), that I would like to try in the future.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
