Oak Gallnuts

Description: Quercus Infectoria
Aleppo white gallnuts.
High gallo-tannic content.
Natural dye for producing black and grey colours.
Makes traditional Iron Gall drawing ink when admixed with Ferrous Sulphate.

Excellent source of tannin for use in natural dyeing with the use of mordants.
Does not impart a strong colour to the fabric by itself. Oak gallnut helps you to create very sharp shades of any colour by assisting a mordant to bind to cellulose fibres.
