    Long ago, people made dye from sorrel and log-wood. The sorrel was boiled in water. when the sorrel was boiled the water was of a dark colour. it was strained to separate the leaves from the juice. The log-wood was boiled in water, and when the log-wood was boiled the water was of a reddish colour. This dye was used for dyeing thread woven by the hand.
