Things this article still needs

 * More on Chinese, Japanese, and Indian dyeing
 * Native American dyeing
 * Practices today in traditional cultures
 * Brown dyes: cutch and Juglans nigra (black walnut)
 * Rewrite William Morris section – avoid 1901 DNB flowery wording; give Thomas Wardle credit; Artistic dress.
 * Broken link found for Himalayan rubhada root (yellow). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigofera seems to point to Indigofera heterantha - Himalayan indigo as being the new link/name for Himalayan rubhada root Rubi-Wan-Kenobi (talk) 15:30, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

More to-do's

 * Add in early resist dyeing (batik, etc.) to balance the detail on Europe and native American dyeing. There's stuff in Gillow.
 * Can anyone find a citation for Cardinal's robes being dyed purple with murex until 1464 when they were changed to red dyed with kermes (and later cochineal)? I've seen this but not in citable form.  Would be a good bit to add - if not here, under kermes (dye) which I am also expanding since it was shorter than what I had on kermes here.
 * More walnut and oak/acorn brown dyes.
 * Need to work in a link to Trade and use of saffron.
 * I read somewhere that the metallic salts other than alum were a French (?medieval) development - need to dig that up and add a word or two.
 * Mention weld and madder brought to Colonial America.
 * Mention synthesis of indigo.
 * Find that William Morris quote on Prussian blue or similar (don't make this section longer, make it better!).
