How was clothing died during Elizabethan times?

In: Elizabeth I [Edit categories]

Answer:

I'm no expert on the matter but I do know that those who died the fabrics the beautiful indigo blue color so popular with the upper class at the time were forced by Royal decree to live a certain distance from town because the dying process from the berries used for the color stank to high heaven. It was mixed up in a large vat and stirred and cooked and the fabric dipped into the concoction.
