Creating Color - Natural Dyeing Demonstration

How did the colonists create color from plants for their clothing and household fabrics? Stop by the Wick House at Jockey Hollow to see a demonstration of natural dyeing using plant materials. Throughout the day (11:00 am - 3:00 pm), we will be preparing the dyebaths using various natural materials and transforming white wool yarn into various colors. Come and see what colors can be made!
