This article appeared in The Modern Priscilla magazine, October, 1919. It was written by Harriet C. Wilkie, who was manager of the Allanstand Cottage Industries shop. She writes of her fascination with the natural dyes used to color wool and cotton. She compares the natural dyes to the new aniline dyes and explains how she and Miss Goodrich have worked to keep the old dyeing skills alive. The second half of the article describes how to create various hues of yellow, green, purple, etc.
