Boil the silk in soap till white, wash it out well, alum, and then wash it twice in cold water. Fill a fur- nace with clear cold water, put into it half a bundle of weld, and bring it to a spring heat, but not to boil out. Prepare a bath of clear soft water, and put into it of the yellow-weld liquor to the colour wanted. If for a deep yellow, make up and finish in a lather of soap ; but if for a jonquille, this is not wanted wring out, and dry in a stove. Second recipe. Use of alum, three ounce...s to one pound of silk ; sugar of lead, one ounce to one pound of alum ; fustic, one pound to one pound of silk ; water, one or two gallons, in proportion to the shade required. Immerse the silk over- night in the solution of alum and sugar of lead, take it out wring, and dye it in the fustic. Third recipe. For ten pounds, take one pound and a quarter of alum, and seven pounds of French berries, or four pounds of Turkey berries. Put the alum into a kettle, with eight buckets of water ; when dissolved, pour it into a vat, immerse the silk in the solution, work it well therein for half an hour, take it out, lay it aside in its wet state for further use, and throw away the solution.
