Wool colours of the Farbenfabriken vorm. Friedr. Bayer & Co., Elberfeld
A 1907 dye-maker's sample book from Farbenfabriken vorm. Friedrich Bayer & Co. of Elberfeld, Germany, issued to show trade customers how wool yarn takes its dyes. The four pictures are vertical strips of dyed wool woven with white twisted cords between colour bands, in dark reds, black, olive, mustard and brown, giving a designer a clear set of stacked colour-and-banding combinations to borrow for palettes or stripe patterns.
