  • Period dye

    I have some very light colored jean wool and wanted to dye it to a darker shade. I was wondering what some easy period correct ways of doing this would be? Mostly what substances would do the best job?

    Thank you,

    Re: Period dye

    Well, it all depends on what your definition of "easy" entails. Most period dye processes are right much of a job, though a strong man with a very large dyepot will have a somewhat easier job of it, simply because he's able to lift and turn the steaming wet heavy material in order to get an even dye job.

    Here's one thread to send you down this particular merry path:

    Yassir, I used to be Mrs. Lawson. I still run period dyepots, knit stuff, and cause trouble.
