- This was always done at home in the old days & was done so well that the colour never 'ran'.
Copperas (sold in lumps like washing soda) and logwood (brownish black powder with chips in it) were used.
I have also seen saffron used & sometimes it was used to give butter a yellow colour.
The copperas was to be got in different shades and some of the old flannel quilts were beautifully dyed.
- Rush Candles Young fellows were sent out good soft rushes. Those had to be pulled out of roots. They were peeled & in peeling a small bit of the peel was left at one side to hold the rush together. Peeled rushes were put into a flat basket & hung up near the fire to dry. When dry they were drawn through a gusset in which lard had been melted - a "gusset" was a boat shaped metal vessel with 3 legs & a handle thus (sketch) Some steeped the rushes in resin instead of lard.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
