Common Name : Gall Nut
Botanical Name : Quercus infectoria
Color :
This natural dye is obtained from the Quercus infectoria nut.
Gallnuts are a rich source of tannins and offer a variety of earthy tones. When used alone, yellow, beige, cream, and light brown colors are obtained in both cellulose and protein fibers.
The introduction of an iron postmordant can transform these shades into various grays, blacks, and gorgeous deep eggplant purples.
Gallnuts can be used with or without mordants. Furthermore, being a great source of tannins, they can be used as an organic tannin mordant for other dyes. Additionally, the gall extract is excellent for use as a two-step mordant with aluminum acetate for cellulose.
Fabrics dyed with this natural dye have antibacterial, antimicrobial, and astringent properties.
