As I've just been speccing up how I'd like a batch of my Romano-British painted (eye's on the mend, not completely fixed, remember :D), I dug out a couple of useful posts from my blog a couple summers ago when we wandered round some Dark Ages/early Mediaeval historical sites in France.
Specifically, these two posts have links to images of wool dyed using various natural substances like madder, woad and weld.
- Display at La Musée Des Temps Barbare (the museum of the Dark Ages) in Marle (NE of Paris)
- Display in the museum at the Bayeux Tapestry in (no, really!) Bayeux.
Thanks for posting these really useful photographs.
