Dying fabric

We used natural dyes made from onion skins and red cabbage to dye some white cotton today. We discussed how Bronze Age man would have discovered which plants and vegetables would make the best dyes. We thought they might have found out by accident! We also watched a BBC clip about how   they made wool to make warm clothes from sheep fleece. It's harder than it looks!
