Any discoloration of the solution or fading of the fabric will mean that the material should ,be protected from body fluids. Very brilliant colors on silks, rayons and cottons are not al­ ways colorfast to washing and sunlight. A simple test to find out if a fabric will wash satis­ factorily, is to iron a small sample of the material while wet under a damp cloth. If the color bleeds into the dampened cloth, it is not colorfast to washing. Commercial .laundries use this same test, but with the addition of Javelle water. There are several methods of applying dyestuffs to fabrics, each of which has its own mer­ its. The more satisfactory process on wools is stock dyeing. This is done on the wool fibers be­ fore they have been spun into a contiuous thread for weaving. Here you get the maximum of dye penetration which affords good resistance to rubbing and cleaning fluids, dyed wools are on the Yarn highest before __ _____ __ ...._ into fabric form. Yarn-dyed fab­ rics such as wool plaids and cotton ginghams, .are often rich­ er in tone and tend to be more colorfast than piece-dyed fabrics. Piece-dyeing, of course, is the most commonly used piethod of coloring fabrics. It is the least expensive and is the answer to the manufacturer's problem of low production costs ,and swift changes in fashion trends. The woven material is placed in a machine known as a jig and passed on .rollers through vat dyes. These dyes to washing, but sunlight. On the other dyes which are the dull colors on work clothes such as khaki, navy, brown and black, are fast to washing, light and perspiration. Their o n 1 y( weakness, however, appears in the fact that excessive chlorine bleaching will strip the color, and that fabrics dyed by this pro­ cess become weak if stored for a great length of time, Very delicate color harmonies can be obtained by cross-dyeing, a combination of stack dyeing or yarn dyeing with a subsequent piece of dyeing operation; but this method, athough affording the consumer a high degree of color fastness, is costly from the manufacturer's point of view. Another factor to come to the dye expert’s attention is the pro­ cess of printing, the cheapest and most productive of which is roll­ er printing. After a design has been .engraved on copper cylin­ ders, one roller for each colour in the print, this machine which is automatically fed from vats of colour paste, can turn out colour- designed fabrics at the rate of thousands of yeards per hour. Discharge or extract printing is another cheap .method of print­ ing piece-dyed fabrics. This con­ sists of a bleaching process Which removes certain portions of the color leaving a design in a light­ er shade. Polka-dot fabrics il­ lustrate this point, but after very little Wear small holes will often form around the bleached or weakened portions. The degree of color fastness, however, de­ pends entirely upon the type of dye used and whether the fabric is intended to be washable. Color, as you can readily see, Is a very illusive factor In the fabric world. Therefore, testing for color fastness is your safest method and is highly recom­ mended by the manufacturers of chemical dyestuffs and fabric mills. Greetings—to -all those1 ladies who would like to know some thing about commercial dyeing. “Let there be light, and there was light.” Thus with the birth of light upon the universe bagan the ever-changing and illusive sensation of broken light, or what is known to mas as“color”, .Since then color experts have been trying to imitate and stabil­ ize all the colors they have found so generously displayed in Nature, They have not entirely succeeded in developing a truly 'parmanent color, but they have found dyes which will outlive the fabric. Dyeing of fabrics is a very ancient art and dates back to the days of the cave man, who dyed his crudely-matted hair1 garments with the juice of ber­ ries and leaves. With the dis­ covery of America, however, the dyes of the -Old World were re­ placed by North American Indian dyes, which in turn were replaced by synthetic coal-tar prepara­ tions. In 1856, Perkins, an Eng­ lish chemist, accidentallly stum­ bled upon the method of pro­ ducing o.ur present dyestuffs, and since then well over fourteen thousand different colors and shades have been developed. This is why you have so much trouble matching shades in different fab­ rics. Each fiber reacts in a differ­ ent way to various dyestuffs, consequently a modern dye specialist has many problems. The ideal in fabric color of which the dye expert expires is a pro­ cess and a dyestuff which will render the fabric colorfast to washing, sunlight, perspiration and friction. All four of these qualities are extremely hard to obtain on all types of fibers and are especially difficult on mixed fabrics. Some dyes are good on wools and silks, while others are best used on cottons, linens and re­ generated rayons. Acetate rayons and nylon, however, require yet another type of specially pre­ pared dyestuff so that the dye ingredients will blend correctly with the fabric’s chemical con­ tent. To obtain a good color oil cotton fabrics a mordant is used which softens and swells the fiber so that the dyestuff ad­ heres more readily to the yarn or fabric. For wools and some delicate tints on pure silk, acid or direct dyes are used. These are inex­ pensive and are fairly fast to light; but not to washing. Wool, however boiling solution fastness, less, test a woven wollen for fastness to friction or rubbing. To do this rub the dry sample against a white cloth, then wet the sample and repeat the opera­ tion. If the cloth remains white after both tests, the color is fast to friction. Tn determine if wools are colorfast to steam pressing, put a sample between folds of white cloth and hold over the steam of a kettle. If there* is no, discoloration on the cloth, the material fill steam-press well.
