About this book
The art of colouring textiles is very old. This handbook is primarily concerned with the principles and practices of dyeing and printing, based on the use of modern chemical technology but applied to small-scale textile production with all its particular problems. The handbook is one of a series aiming to present basic information about all aspects of small-scale textile manufacture from raw materials to finished products.
