  2. There is a college in Dindugal which teaches you the cultivation of the plants and preparation of natural dyes.This may help you a lot in this matter.

  3. All your ancestors and mine did was cook up a batch of coloring in a kettle of water by adding things such as beets.  They set the color with salts.  There are many plants and things such as barks that are used to color fabrics.  Get a book from your local library on natural dyes.  It is free to borrow and take notes from.
