Two ounces solution of tin, one ounce of cream of tartar, and one ounce of cochineal, to one pound of cloth or yarn. Pulverize your cochineal by putting it in a loose bag and rubbing out in sufficient water to wet the cloth. When heat- ing, add the tartar, then the tin ; have the liquor at boiling heat, wet your cloth in soap suds, then put it in, stir con- stantly, and keep it at boiling heat twenty minutes, but do not allow it to boil. Rinse when wet in cold water.
