Natural dyeing with acorns and walnuts produces lovely tans and browns. If browns and tans seem boring to you, remember that they can be a great base for overdyeing. I particularly like tan overdyed with indigo. It shifts the primary blue of indigo dye into something darker, and a little more like teal. Browns and tans can also be shifted to grays and blacks with a dip in an iron bath. Read on to learn!

All parts of the oak tree are rich in tannins and can be used for natural dyeing; the leaves, acorns, acorn caps, galls and bark 🐿️

The real magic happens when you add rust — the brown colour changes to grey, or even black.

Here are another freebie that I think you’ll like:

Autumn bears beautiful gifts for those looking for seasonal colors. Today, I'm sharing a natural dyeing tutorial. To dye linen pants I collected oak leaves. Alternatives for making grey are oak galls, alder cones, acorns, or black tea. These dyes contain high concentrations of tannins, which can be modified with iron.
