Natural Dyes - Oak Gallnut, Ground

The finely ground Aleppo White Oak Gallnut powder is ready to use!

Oak Gallnuts are one of the best sources of tannin for natural dyeing in the mordanting process.  Oak Gallnuts do not impart a strong color to the fabric. They help to create very sharp shades of any color by assisting a mordant to bind to cellulose fibers. 

Oak Galls have been used in ink making since Roman times.

Use 10g Oak Gallnuts for each 100g of fiber.
