For the older, married sister nothing would
or orange curtains for her kitchen, or a pair of
dainty, blue ones for her bathroom Mother
would like aprons or house dresses made from
this material and dyed some darker shade
First to consider in any dyeing process is
the color desired for that particular piece of
cloth. Fortunately there are now q few color
removals on the market, so the former color
Of the old piece of cloth need not alter or
influence your choice of color for dyeing The
process of removing color is very simple indeed
simply boil the material to be stripped of
color in a dye-bath containing the correct
amount of color removal. Every package of
dye contains detailed directions on how to
measure the amount of dye needed.
After boiling for Is or 20 minutes in the color
removal bath, the color should be entirely
stripped. Take out of bath and rinse thoroughly
In cold water, and then prepare for the dyeing
process.
The only implements needed in the dyeing
process are the following: A large smooth
kettle Zone that holds in the neighborhood of
three gallons) for the dye-bath, small pan
in which the dye is to be dissolved, clean
white cloth with which the dye is strained, a
smooth clean stick with which to stir the
material while boiling, and the necessary cakes
or tubes of dye
Fill the large kettle (the three gallon one)
about three-fourths full of water and place on
the stove to heat. While it is heating, in the
small pan dissolve the proper amount of dye
'(this is to be found in directions contained
with every cake or tube of dye) When the
water in the large kettle is slightly more than
lukewarm. strain the dissolved dye into it.
This is what we now call the dye-bath It is
absolutely necessary to strain the dye, for if
there is any small amount not dissolved it will
stick to your material and cause a spot To
this dye-bath add tablespoon of salt, which
aids in setting the color.
Now Submerge the material to be dyed into
this dye-bath, being sure that it has been pre-
viousy dipped in warm water, for it must be
thoroughly dampened if it is to take the
dye evenly. Stir constantly for is minutes
after the dye-bath begins to boil One of the
common failures OF home dyeing Is the fact
that girls do not realize the importance of
constant stirring. It is absolutely necessary to
get an even dye. After boiling for is minutes.
remove from the dye bath and rinse in cold
water until the water runs clear.
You'll find home dyeing most fascinating
pastime, and one that produces wonderful re-
suits with very little cost. 1t is not hap
hazard or uncertain experiment, but if one is
careful and follows directions infinitely, it is
as safe and sure process as is the boiling of
potatoes. Let's all get out the biggest kettles
and the scraps of silk, buy a few yards of
muslin and few cakes of dye and have d
perfectly wonderful time creating a myriad of
useful articles!
