In 16th and 17th and 18th Century Scotland to achieve this green was difficult, Dyes were derived from plants such as nettles, buckthorn plants. leeks and green ferns- but these greens faded in time. A more lasting green was obtained by dying wool blue with woad then yellow with yellow weeds.
It is thought in areas where spagnum moss was available, it too was used to obtain that spagnum green colour,
Once the weeds were gathered and processed to extract the dye - the dye was then applied to the wool in a dye bath
