That is interesting because most woolens here [ Middle east area] were
found in Dessert caves, and most were natural white, with the odd brown
stripe.
Hence the story of Joseph caot that was STRIPED and not like the
translations say Multy colored {NOT} ,,,,
When we learned as cildren the Story of Ja`akov , who asks from his father
in law To give him all the colored sheep . Only years later when i
strated to weave and learned about Dying, and saw the ANCIENT [2000 ++ ]
cloths, i understood that Natural colored Browns or blacks Were Worth GOLD
at those times. mirjam
