_Bright Yellow._--Use 2 lb. Thioflavine S.

_Deep Orange Yellow._--This can be dyed by using 2 lb. Diamine yellow N.

_Gold Yellow._--Dye with 2 lb. Diamine gold. Some care must be taken
with this, especially not to dye too hot or the silk will be dyed deeper
than the cotton.

_Deep Orange._--Use 2 lb. Diamine orange B.

_Bright Rose._--Use 2 lb. Diamine Rose B D. Do not work too high,
especially when dyeing light rose shades, as then the silk is apt to
take up too much colour.

_Scarlet._--Use in the dye-bath 2 lb. Diamine scarlet H S. The heat of
the dye-bath should not be allowed to exceed 160 deg. to 170 deg. F., or there
is a risk of the shades becoming somewhat duller.

_Crimson._--Dye with 2 lb. Diamine fast red F.

_Violet._--Use 2 lb. Oxydiamine violet B.

_Bright Blue._--A fine shade is dyed with 2 lb. Diamine blue R W.

_Dark Green._--Use 2 lb. Diamine black H W. This gives a fine shade of
bluish green.

_Gold Brown._--Dye with 2 lb. Diamine brown 3 G at a low heat, from 150 deg.
to 160 deg. F., otherwise the silk takes up too much colour.

_Dark Green._--Dye with 2 lb. Diamine green B.

_Deep Rose._--Dye with 2 lb. Diamine red 10 B.
