It wasn't ink that was used on the tapestry, but dyes. The strands of wool/linen were dyed with various natural sources. For instance to get the color of purple in this time clam shells were boiled and then the wool was added. Flowers, plants, and minerals were used to make the different colors. There were no man made dyes or inks when the tapestry was made.
