What specific fabrics and materials are recommended in the book for the authentic production of medieval women's clothing?

In the book "Sewing Medieval Clothing for Women" (or "Clothing in the Middle Ages" by Katrin Kania), wool and linen are primarily recommended as the main materials for authentic garments. While wool was used for outerwear, linen was mostly used for clothing worn next to the skin, such as shirts; silk and expensive brocade fabrics are also mentioned for the upper classes.
According to the historical sources included in the book, what role did colors such as madder red or woad blue play in indicating social status in medieval women's clothing?

In the Middle Ages, the color of clothing served as an important means of indicating social hierarchy and was often regulated by strict dress codes. Madder red and woad blue played the following roles: - Madder red: Obtained from the madder root, this color was considered a sign of wealth and high status, as the dyeing process was elaborate and the color more expensive compared to simple earth pigments.

- Woad blue: The dye obtained from the woad plant produced a vibrant blue that symbolized fidelity, purity, and the divine. While simpler shades of blue were common, intense colors emphasized the wearer's elevated status. In general, nobles and wealthy citizens wore bright, expensive colors to distinguish themselves from the lower classes, who usually relied on muted or natural tones.
