    The American Revolution brought forth a new early trade, weaving. America could no longer rely on England for their imported textiles and other manufactured goods. Every person in the family would have to learn to make their own clothes. Since the colonists did not want to wear the same color of clothing day in and day out, it was necessary to dye fabric using homegrown and wild plants and vegetables. In most colonial towns, there was a person whose specific job was a wool dyer.
