818247180XWhile aiming to make the book a practical one, I have avoided making it simply a collection of recipes, but have stated the principle of silk dyeing clearly, as I believe a dyer who knows these principles thoroughly can easily apply them practically in producing those innumerable shades and tints which are required. This book is a masterpiece on the subject as it covers each and every aspect of Silk processing with about 170 recipes and deals from origin to Boiling of and bleaching of Silk, Dyeing of fancy colours on Silk. Dyeing of Blended silk Fabric, Silk Printing, Silk Dyeing and finishing Machinery, Yam Dyeing Examination and assessing of raw and dyed Silk etc. Overall this book is must for book shelf of student, scholar, technical institutes and textile mills.
