The Janus dyes may be used for the dyeing of half wool (union) fabrics.
The best plan of working is to prepare a bath with 5 lb. of sulphate of
zinc; in this the goods are worked at the boil for five minutes, then
there is added the dyes previously dissolved in water, and the working
continued for a quarter of an hour; there is then added 20 lb. Glauber's
salt, and the working at the boil continued for one hour, at the end of
which time the dye-bath will be fairly well exhausted of colour. The
goods are now taken out and put into a fixing-bath of sumac or tannin,
in which they are treated for fifteen minutes; to this same bath there
is next added tartar emetic and 1 lb. sulphuric acid, and the working
continued for a quarter of an hour, then the bath is heated to 160 deg. F.,
when the goods are lifted, rinsed and dried. In the recipes the
quantities of the dyes, sumac or tannin and tartar emetic are given
only, the other ingredients and processes are the same in all.
_Dark Blue._--2-1/4 lb. Janus dark blue B and 1/4 lb. Janus green B in
the dye-bath, and 16 lb. sumac extract and 2 lb. tartar emetic in the
fixing-bath.
_Blue Black._--3-1/2 lb. Janus black I and 1/2 lb. Janus black II in the
dye-bath, and 16 lb. sumac extract and 2 lb. tartar emetic in the
fixing-bath.
_Dark Brown._--2-1/2 lb. Janus brown B, 1 lb. Janus black I, 3-1/2 oz.
Janus yellow G and 5 oz. Janus red B in the dye-bath, with 16 lb. sumac
extract and 2 lb. tartar emetic in the fixing-bath.
_Drab._--1-1/2 oz. Janus yellow R, 3/4 oz. Janus red B, 1 oz. Janus blue
R and 1/4 oz. Janus grey B B in the dye-bath, and 4 lb. sumac extract
and 1 lb. tartar emetic in the fixing-bath.
