European settlers' clothing was primarily made from natural materials such as wool, linen, and cotton. Wool, sourced from sheep, was used for warmer garments like coats and blankets, while linen, made from flax, was common for shirts and dresses due to its breathability. Cotton became more prevalent later, especially in the warmer southern colonies. Settlers often dyed their fabrics using natural dyes, resulting in a range of colors and patterns.
