this step the dye can be added simultaneously or one after another for a mottled look the dyes are preferably added sequentially one after another the time required for this step is essentially only that required for the addition of the materials to the apparatus once all of the dye has been added the contents of the apparatus is agitated or churned for about 3 to 10 minutes preferably about 5 minutes the speed of agitation is from about 10 to 30 rpm preferably about 20 rpm after about 5 minutes the agitation cycle is stopped and the contents of the apparatus is boiled for about 30 minutes although 30 minutes is preferred the boiling can be from about 15 to about 45 minutes after boiling the contents of the apparatus is cooled to about 140 u00b0 f although 140 u00b0 f is preferred the temperature can be from about 130 u00b0 f to about 150 u00b0 f the cooling process can be accomplished by a variety of methods such as cooling coil direct addition of cold water convective cooling or combination thereof this is not an exhaustive list however and other methods of cooling known in the art can be used with the present invention after cooling the liquid content of the apparatus is drained the remaining wet fabric.
