[Regia-NA] [Fwd: *WH* Fw: [12thcenturygarb] Dye Colours (]

This was copied to my local Baronial list without the original
author's address. I have similarly removed the reposter's here.
The information or list may be of use to some of you. Since I
am not a garb hound your milage may vary. I don't know how old
this particular list is but you might enjoy it. *WH* is for
Windmasters Hill, our large SCA Barony. The list it came from has
an address below. I trimmed out only the ads.
