Vegetable dyeing
Colours of this Iron Age costume come from nature. Fabrics and yarns for trims have been dyed with vegetable dyes. Peplos dress fabric is made of brown sheep fibres. It was quite cool shade so I over dyed it with onion skin yellow.
Indigo blue was used in Karelia. Woad was imported and maybe grown for dyeing purposes. Women in Karelia wore clothes made of light grey, blue, brown or almost black wool.
Some colours, like red, was difficult to dye, so they were mostly used in tablet woven trims.
