iin,
crape,
sarcenet,
cambric,
&c.,
is
about
three
quarts
;
for
a
larger
dress,
a
proportionate
quantity.
The
dyeing-utensils
are
simple,
being
composed
of
tubs,
kettles,
horse,
or
a
couple
of
lathed
benches,
for
the
purpose
of
placing
the
goods
upon
when
they
come
from
the
dye.
The
horse
may
be
in
form
of
a
carpenter's
stool.
A
doll,
which
is
used
for
beating
blankets,
counterpanes,
&c.
in
the
tub,
in
order
to
clean
them.
For
this
doll
some
use
an
article
similar
to
a
pavior's
mall,
but
of
smaller
dimensions
:
others
have
a
circular
pi^ce
of
wood,
two
inches
thick, in
which
four
legs
are
fastened
on
the
under
side,
and
in
the
centre a
pretty
long
handle,
with
a
cross-piece
put
through
it
to
work
it
with.
Against
the
wall
or
a
post
fasten
a
hook
or
a
pin
to
put on
your
skeins,
and
with
a
small
stick
wring
them
out.
In
fancy-
dyeing
the
various
shades
of
cambric,
a
winch
is
put
in
frequent
use.
The
liquor
should
always
be
stirred
with
a
spoon,
rod,
or
any
thing
that
is
clean,
previous
to
the
article
being
dipped
in
it,
to
cause
the
colouring-particles
to
be
equally
diffused,
so
that
the
article
to
be
dyed
receives
its
colour
uniformly;
and
it
ife
also
necessary
that
the
article
be
moved
in
and
out
quickly,
and
opened
to
receive
the
colour
more
evenly.
Colours
generally
look
much
darker
when
wet,
therefore
allowance
should
generally
be
made
for
drying,
which
should
always be
done
in
a
warm
room, pinned
or
stretched
to
a
line.
