Rare Dyeing Secret

The Shetland islanders seldom use
any dye, and their homespuns are gem
orally made in the plain drab color
which is natural to the sheep, or in
browns, with variegated design of
the diamond herringbone patterns on
simple plain brown and white woods.
In contradistinction to this ignorance
OF the art of dyeing among the people
OF the sShetlands, the inhabitants of
the contiguous Fair island, although
not famous for any quality of cloth
comparable to that made in either
Harris or the Shetlands, possess a
secret of dyeing an indescribably rich
crimson, recalling associations of the
early Spanish dyers. 1t is historically
known that one of the galleons of the
Spanish armada was wrecked on this
island. and 1t Is probably correct to
assume that this crimson is the rem
iniscence OF an art taught the islanders
by the Spaniards.
Within recent years efforts have been
made by travellers living on the island
with a disguised purpose to discover
this valuable secret. which has SO long
been perpetuated among them and
which they put to SO little use, but go
FAR secretiveness has been more than
a match for cunning. and all that is
known regarding the process is that
the body of the dye is OK blood and its
compOnents vegetable admixtures
