Blue dye came from [[woad]], and later in period, also from [[indigo]]. A limited number of shades were possible. Because large quantites of woad plant needed to be grown, and then the product fermented and processed, it was not a cheap [[dyestuff]] in early period, however it was still cheaper than the bright [[purple]] dyes. [[Woad]] could be traded as balls of dried dyestuff quite easily in period, and thus could be found in places not suitable for the plant to grow in.
