A Comprehensive Classic Guide for Fabric Dyeing Techniques And Recipes
This deluxe reprint Legacy Edition of Paul N. Hasluck’s Fabric Dyeing And Making Textile Coloring Mixtures (previously published as “Colouring Matters for Dyeing Textiles” in 1906) is full of old-time tips and methods for learning the textile dyeing arts and old-time recipes for making your own colorful dyes and solutions for fabric coloring in the traditional way. Originally published in 1906, this handy little guide touches on every aspect of the textile coloring process and its various methods, including how to make your own solutions for coloring wool, cotton, and other fabrics.
Hasluck describes many essential aspects of fabric dyeing for different families of colors, as well as the effects of solutions on different types of fabrics like wool and cotton. The book specifically describes detailed recipes for developing coloring agents by using base matter of indigo, logwood, natural red and yellows, aniline, quinoline, phenol, azo, antracene, browns, and prussian blue. The book also describes ways that you can conduct your own coloring experiments to see how different solutions affect fabrics. Although the chemistry involved within this text is from the early 1900s, some of the classic skills and materials described within are invaluable to handcrafters, DIY-ers, and traditionalists!
This book makes a perfect gift for aspiring or expert textile makers, spinners, home fabric dyers, DIYers, traditional crafters, homesteaders, and handcrafters of all kinds!
