Amongst them are dozens of dyeing sample made in search of the perfectly matching colour to be used as a support fabric, patch or overlay. Fabrics are wool, silk, nylon and cotton: some threads/yarns too. The exact recipes are included. Ranges of mixtures of 2 to three colours and depth of shade in sample of 8 shades. There’s also an extensive dyeing manual I compiled when teaching back in the 1980s and 90s. Perhaps digital colour readings are made these days to measure the exact colour and how to achieve it using something like a paint colour-mixing machine. But maybe some of you are still using colour sense along with beakers and stirrers. If there is any interest, I will dig them out and describe what's on offer. These samples are the result of lots of work, so I won’t be giving them away. Make me an offer! Kind regards, Jennifer Jennifer Barnett Translator Dutch - English 8 route de Dancé 42260 Bully France
