External Email - Exercise Caution Hi Jenny and everybody. Just a warning: Solophenyl dyes are no more used in conservation, because they are not wet-fast. They were replaced by reactive dyes if I remember correctly in the early 2000, first by the Cibacron / Novacron F series, later (around 2014) by Avitera SE in Switzerland and I guess also Germany and Austria. So please, do not use Solophenyl as reference for dyeing anymore 😉. Lanasol is still ok. Sincerely, Karin Karin von Lerber Dipl.

Unfortunately for you, the first person to respond wants to buy everything. The most recent digital version (2002) of the dye manual is half translated into Dutch and I’ve managed to toss the original English paper version in a decluttering binge a few years ago. But since I must make a new compilation and ‘de-translate’ the 2002 version for my buyer, I’m thinking that a useful and saleable manual could result for others. It would be missing the original textile samples of the 2-colour and 3-colour colour mixing exercises, but scanning should produce a workable result. Would you still be intersted in such a manual? In any case, thank you for your interest!

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
