Did both the north and south wear homespun uniforms during the civil war?

in general, no, both sides did not wear homespun. The north's industrial facilities allowed them to mass produce enough materials for uniforms. I'm sure there where exceptions, particularly amoungst the western "militias" and other poorly organized units but I for one have seen no record of union soldiers marching in homespun.

How big were factories during the civil war?

How many people dyed in the civil war?

The textile factories dyed the Union uniforms blue, and the few Southern clothing factories dyed the Confederate uniforms grey, but many Southern privates, especially toward the end of the war, served without uniforms at all.
