Oak Gallnut Extract Tannin for Natural Dyeing, Plant Dye Cellulose Plant Fibers

from $10.99
Priced and sold by 1, 2 or 4 oz bag.

This extract is 95% tannic acid. This is an extract made from Aleppo oak galls which are full of tannins. This is an especially good tannin because it imparts little to no color to the fibers. Many other tannins impart their own tan or brown color to the fibers, and that affects the outcome of the dye bath, because now you are dyeing fibers that are already brown or tan! This is not a problem with this oak gallnut extract. Thank goodness!

Tannins like this are generally used for the pre-treatment of cellulose (plant) fibers for natural dyeing to help the mordant fix to the fiber.

Oak galls occur as a reaction from the oak tree to an insect. The tree produces this tannin-rich substance that forms a gall nut and then falls from the tree and are gathered.

Use at 10% WOF.


I'll include a sheet with this information on it with your order.
