To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, we're creating an American flag from scratch using historic methods and materials sourced right here in DuPage County. With the weaving complete, it's time to transform plain wool into the colors of the American flag. Using indigo for the blue field and cochineal for the red stripes, we're dyeing the fabric with the same natural materials that have been used for generations.
