Celtic dyeing

Celtic dyeing refers to the ancient methods used by Celtic peoples to color textiles using natural materials. They extracted dyes from plants, insects, and minerals, producing vibrant and durable colors like blues, greens, reds, and yellows. These dyes were often applied to wool and linen through soaking or other processes, creating textiles with intricate patterns and rich hues. The techniques reflected their skill and understanding of natural resources, preserving cultural identity and craftsmanship. Celtic dyeing not only served practical purposes but also had artistic and symbolic significance in their society.
