Lac Dye
Exciting the report by Jenny Balfour-Paul as a foreword / introduction to the topic about her trip to Bhutan, where the ancient tradition of dyeing with lac and other natural dyes is still practiced today. In this country, textiles, their manufacture and their colors still embody the traditional meaning. Artur Telfeyan's view of the centuries-old use of Lac Dye in the culture of carpet weaving in the Orient is interesting. The distribution and appreciation of the dye, which stem from the lasting splendor of the extraordinarily valuable carpets that were also dyed with it, are examined using different examples. In this context, the lightfastness and durability of the colors made from Lac Dye are scientifically proven. The author's information on dyeing with seven basic recipes and their variations is practical and immediately applicable and helpful. Likewise her remarks on knitting. Many models will be shown whose yarns have been dyed with Lac Dye. 7 knitting instructions complete this part of the book. At every point, the author's passion for this remarkable dye is evident.
The text is supplemented by 147 colored images, 6 pen drawings and 7 graphics in black and white.
