Black Walnut Shells
Dye Colour: Earthy Light and Dark Browns | Cultivated in the USA

Using Black Walnut Shells for dyeing results in a rich, natural-looking earthy brown colour after one or two dye baths for deeper tones. This dye works especially well with silk and wool materials and is known for its excellent colour fastness.

Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) is a native North American tree known for its strong wood and high tannin content, which is ideal for natural dyeing. The shells are a rich source of tannins, giving the dye its deep, earthy brown hues. Traditionally, Black Walnut has been used for both dyeing and in herbal medicine.

Colour Fastness: Excellent

Colour Outcomes by WOF Ratio:

• 50% WOF Dye (Black Walnut Shells): Produces a light, earthy brown.
• 100% WOF Dye (Black Walnut Shells): Yields a deeper, richer brown.

Basic Recipe for Earthy Brown:

• Ingredients: 50% or 100% whole Black Walnuts (soaked overnight), Mordanted Fibre/Fabric

Instructions:

1. Soak the Black Walnuts in cold water overnight.
2. Bring the soaked walnuts to 80°C for one hour.
3. Strain out the shells/powder.
4. Add mordanted fibre/fabric to the dye bath and simmer at 80°C for one hour.
5. For deeper results, leave the fabric in the dye bath overnight or for up to 12 hours.
6. Rinse and dry to reveal a rich, earthy brown hue.

Unlock the rich, earthy tones of Black Walnut Shells and enjoy the depth and warmth it brings to your fabrics and yarns. Perfect for eco-conscious makers and those looking for natural, long-lasting colours.

Catechu Dye – Dye Colour: Browns and Beige | Botanical: Acacia catechu | Produced & Processed in India

Catechu, also known as Cutch, is a versatile natural dye that produces a beautiful range of brown and beige shades on cotton, silk, and wool fibres. This dye is composed of two components: catechu-tannic acid, which dissolves in cold water, and catechin, which requires hot water for extraction. Catechu is rich in tannins and will dye without the need for a mordant, though it can also benefit from one for brighter results. Some even suggest Catechu may help those with eczema – an added bonus for a naturally healing dye!

Colour Fastness: Good

Product Details:

• Dye Colour: Brown and Beige
• Perfect for: Cotton, silk, and wool fibres
• Mordant Optional: Alum for brighter colours, Iron for darker results

Basic Recipe:

1. Ingredients:
   • 200g wool (mordant optional)
   • 20g Catechu extract (made into paste with boiling water)
2. Instructions:
   • Add the Catechu paste to the dye pot with hot water and stir regularly.
   • Add the mordanted wool and simmer for 1 hour.
   • Leave the wool in the dye bath overnight for a deeper colour.
   • Let the wool oxidize before rinsing.

Note:

• Catechu is difficult to exhaust, meaning you can add more wool later for lighter tones.
• Mordanting the wool with Alum will give brighter results, but Catechu will still produce rich browns without it. For darker shades, use an Iron mordant.

Enjoy the versatility of Catechu dye and explore its potential for a wide range of beautiful brown and beige hues in your projects!

Character

Nettle fibre shares qualities with linen — strength, breathability, and longevity — whilst maintaining its own distinctive texture.

Each skein reflects the hand-spun process and the natural variation of wild plant fibre.

Care

Hand wash gently in cool water
Reshape whilst damp
Dry flat

With use and washing, the fibre softens naturally.

Ethical production
