To Dye Orange
When orange is desired take a handful of best madder and mix it with a
spoonful of cochineal, boil it for an hour or two, add too a little
ground red wood which requires more boiling than the madder itself; dye
your hackles or stuff yellow first, and dip them into the red dye a
short time, take them out and look at the shade you have; if too light
allow them to remain in longer, and you will have darker shades of
colour, put a little red tartar and ground alum into the dye to assist
the red wood to strike on the materials, take them out and wash them in
soap and hot water, and afterwards rinse them in urine which gives a
lustre and softness to the stuff.
