To Dye A Yellow Brown
The Saunders' Wood, brought from the Indies, and sold in powder or
ground mixed with sumach is good, it takes long to boil, adding the
alum.
A Cinnamon Brown or Fiery Brown may be struck on the hackles or colours
(pig hair or mohair) by first dyeing them yellow, the same as explained
in the yellow dye; put the hackles, previously dyed yellow, into the
liquor of walnut rinds, and simmer them over the fire slowly for three
or four hours, and leave them in all night, if a dark fiery brown is
required; the less of the rinds produce cinnamon or yellow brown, the
roots and rinds of the walnut are the best for the various shades; the
rind of the alder dyed with alum and tartar is also good.
