A specimen of the textile (textiles of all kinds and in all forms) in contact with adjacent fabrics is rolled around a glass rod, treated with slightly acidified hot water and dried. The change in colour of each specimen and the staining of the adjacent fabrics are assessed with the grey scales. The method is mainly applicable to wool and textiles containing wool.
