Shepherd Textiles Walnut Hull Natural Dye contains the dried husks of the black walnut, juglans nigra. Black walnut is a traditional dye for wool and cotton that historically was very popular with rural families and craft dyers in the eastern part of the United States. It is simple to apply and does not require a mordant (although alum or iron can be used to modify the color) and gives good, lightfast shades of brown. Use at 50%-100% weight-of-fabric (WOF) for medium to dark browns on wool, or softer shades on cotton. Product of Mexico.
Before using, please read our Guide to Dyeing With Walnut Hull for color recipes, background, and safety information.
