Walnut Hull Natural Dye

from $22.99

Shepherd Textiles Walnut Hull Natural Dye contains the ground hulls of the black walnut, juglans nigra. Walnut hulls contain a potent compound called juglone. Juglone evolved in the species as a defense mechanism; it is toxic to other trees, and juglone that seeps out of the roots or the fallen nuts can prevent other trees from growing within a radius of 5 or 10 feet. Juglone is also a potent natural dye, and black walnut has been used for centuries in the eastern U.S. to dye wool brown. Our walnut hulls are wild-gathered in Tennessee and ground to a coarse powder in our studio. Use them at 30% weight-of-fabric (WOF) for creamy coffee shades, or 100% for darker shades of brown.

Before using, please read our Guide to Dyeing With Walnut Hull for color recipes, background, and safety information.

Made in the USA.
