Native Americans living near the seas had to be good at weaving. They needed nets to catch fish. Men, women, and children made nets by hand. It usually took one day to complete a fishing net. You can see from the photo how the Wampanoag would set up their frame to make a fishing net. Women also used plants to dye their yarn or rope. The purple yarn in the photo got its color from the berries of pokeweed while the flowers of the goldenrod plant were used to create the yellow-gold yarn.
