Chestnut Extract

from $14.99

Shepherd Textiles Chestnut Extract is made from the wood of castania sativa, the European chestnut tree. Chestnut wood is rich in natural tannins, and it gives a warm sandy brown color on natural fibers. It is also appropriate as a tannin pre-treatment for cellulose fibers, and will give a warm brown base for overdyeing. This extract is produced sustainably in the south of France using a new, ecological production method: the tannins are extracted using the natural water present in the wood so that no wastewater is created throughout the process. The extracted wood is then used for construction materials, so nothing is wasted.

Before using, please read our Guide to Dyeing with Chestnut Extract for color recipes, background, and safety information.

Product of France. Produced by a Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified manufacturer.
