OK, now it's getting scary

I had been doing my wool dyeing with Gaywool dyes, which come in nice colors and are very easy to use, but they are not cheap and it is not always possible to get what I want, when I want it. So, I'm going to have to go to Jaquard dyes, which require mixing with acid. So, I finally went out and opened an account at a chemical company; the minimum first order is $250, so I now have 100 lb of citric acid, 50 lb of alum for mordanting, 50 lb of soda ash and 50 lb of urea for bamboo dyeing.

I guess I'd better do some dyeing...
