Echte Färbungen auf Kammgarn = Fast shades on worsted yarn = Tientes solides sur fil de laine peignée.
A trade sample book issued in 1900 at Leverkusen by the Bayer dye works, printed in German, English and French for dyers and textile buyers, showing fast dyed shades on worsted wool yarn. Its pictures are vertical strips of woven wool swatches in greens, teals, blues and purples, arranged in graded rows, which a designer could use as a ready palette of deep, muted colour families.
