Dissolve 1 oz. of dark blue in 1 pint of water.
Dissolve 1/4 oz. of bright yellow in 1 pint of water.
Use 8 tablespoonfuls of green dye, 12 tablespoonfuls of dull red dye, 4 tablespoonfuls of dark blue dye to 6 yds. of cloth.
Mordants: Same as in No. 18.
Redip in 4 tablespoonfuls of green dye and 5 tablespoonfuls of bright yellow dye.
Mordants: Repeat the one above.
These formulas are the basis for numerous tones
"These formulas can be taken as the basis of many other tones and shades which can be secured by a slight alteration of proportions. By adding a trifle more dull red, green, indigo, or drab liquid dyes, a color can be darkened. By using less of these than the formulas call for, the colors will be lighter. By using more of dull or bright yellow a color can often be made richer without darkening it. Beginners are cautioned against making changes until they become familiar with the dyes. In making new experiments, try them on yard lengths, carefully subdividing any given formula for both dyes and mordants, and increasing the proportion of any particular color desired. If the cloth should fail to take up the dye properly after boiling the full time, increase the quantity of acid, lifting the cloth out when adding the acid to the dye bath."
Excellent suggestions by Miss Albee for color schemes in stripes may be found on pages 64 and 65.
