With Walnut Barks

Walnut bark will color any shade from a light tan to coal-black. Color the wool before carding as follows: Peel the bark from the body of the tree the bark of the root is the best. Put it into a barrel, a layer of the bark and wool alternately, till you fill the barrel; then fill up the barrel with rainwater. Lay on the top heavy weights. Let it stand in the sun or some warm place till you get the shade required.
