The Mishna on our daf discusses cases where someone gave wool to a dyer to color, and the wool was not dyed properly.
According to the Mishna in the case of hikdiho yorah – if the wool was boiled at too high a temperature and was burned – the wool is considered entirely ruined, and full restitution will need to be made to the owner.
If the dye came out uneven, the owner would pay either the added value of the poorly dyed wool or the dyer’s expenses – whichever is less.
We explore the history of dyes including recently discovered dye industry in Ancient Palestine.
