CHAPTER VI.
DYEING HALF SILK (COTTON-SILK, SATIN) FABRICS.
The direct dyes of the Diamine, Benzo and Congo types have been of late years increasingly used for dyeing satin (silk and cotton), and they have quite displaced the old methods of dyeing this class of fabrics, which consisted in first dyeing the silk with an acid dye and then dyeing the cotton with a basic dye. For details of the method of applying acid dyes to silk reference may be made to Mr. G.H. Hurst's book on Silk Dyeing.
Most of the direct colours are exceedingly well adapted for this purpose, some under certain conditions possess the property of dyeing the cotton a deeper shade than the silk, which is an advantage rather than otherwise.
