- Kapa was decorated with various colors. Dyes of different colors were made from different plant materials. Most kapa was used for bed coverings/blankets or clothing
- Lu`u – to dive Waiho`olu`u – the dye itself; “color” To obtain dyes from leaves, petals, bark and berries, soak them in fresh or salt water. The fresh dye plant material was pounded or crushed in a stone mortar with a stone pestle, both made and used only for the preparation of dye materials. Depending on the plant material, you might need to soak it anywhere from a few hours to several days. Some plant tissues may begin to mold or decay in fresh water after 18 hours at room temperature. Plan to crush and process these before they deteriorate. Add cold or hot water to the crushed tissues. Simmer if the color is too pale. Add salt to a sample of the dye to see if it improves the color. Strain through a cloth to remove all plant particles. Use swatches of material (kapa, pelon, muslin, white cotton or linen) to test the color of the dye. Wet the swatches before placing them in the dye. Soak them in hot or cold dye for many hours.
- `A`ali`i ranges from shrubs one foot high to trees up to thirty feet high. Flowers are borne in small clusters on the tips of branches or in leaf axils. The fruit is a yellow, red, or brown capsule about ½ inch long Simmer the ripe seed capsules in a little water for a red-brown dye. Cloth placed in this dye should be boiled for greater permanence of color.
