The dyeing of mixed fabrics composed of wool and silk : with the dyestuffs of Leopold Cassella & Co., G.m.b.H., Frankfort o.M, American branch, Cassella Color Company
A 1906 dye-trade manual issued by Leopold Cassella & Co. of Frankfort and its American branch, the Cassella Color Company, for dyers working with wool and silk mixtures. The pictures are small rectangular fabric swatches, each labelled with a percentage of dye strength, showing how shades of red, orange and maroon take on stripes and weave texture. A designer might take from them the way dyed warp and weft stripes read on a woven ground and how varied those tones look in a limited palette.
