To Dye Orange Color.

For five pounds of woolen yarn, have one pound of annotta; dissolve it
in boiling water, and put it in a pot of soft water with half a pound of
pearl-ash; boil them ten minutes, stirring it well; wet the yarn in
soap-suds; put it in, and let it boil twenty minutes; then hang it in
the sun, and when dry, if it is not deep enough, dip it in again; and
after it is thoroughly dry, wash it in soap and water.


Green-wash.

Take four pounds of blue vitriol, pound it fine, and mix with it three
pounds of beat whiting, and half a pound of potash; pour on them six
quarts of boiling water, and mix in half a pound of glue dissolved in
water. Wash the walls with whiting before it is put on.
