- We have seen that from very early times (about 20,000 BC) clothing made of spun yarn had been used, in large part to communicate the identity and status of the wearer. There is indirect evidence of woven cloth (loom weights) dating to 5500 BC. Much of the appeal of woven cloth comes from the use of colored yarns to produce patterns in the weave. In order to survive repeated uses and washings, these colors must be fast, that is, they must not wash out with water.

- The Art and Science of Dyeing - Dyes are materials that give color to other substances, such as yarn, food, paper, and cloth. Although synthetic dyeing methods have taken over in the last century, dyeing materials still abound in the natural world today. Some weeds produce light tan or yellow coloring, which others may produce beautiful shades that become faded with exposure to light. Lightfast colors, those that keep their true shade for the longest time, were at one point a key subtance in international trade, household life, and local commerce.
