Walnut husks are a traditional Mediterranean dye, widely used in Greece to colour textiles in warm earthy browns — from soft beige and golden tones to deep chocolate shades. Naturally rich in tannins, they can act as both colour and mordant, helping the dye bond easily to fibres and making them a reliable choice for both beginners and experienced dyers.
In Greek dye heritage, walnut was part of everyday life; women often used it not only for textiles but also to darken their hair naturally. Today, walnut husks remain ideal for eco printing, bundle dyeing and immersion dyeing on animal fibres like silk and wool or plant fibres like cotton and linen.
Offered here as dried husk pieces for textile and artistic use only.
