Oak Galls are a classic natural dye and mordanting material rich in tannin, formed by the interaction of gall wasps with oak trees. When crushed or simmered, these galls release high levels of natural tannins, making them an exceptional choice for strengthening dye adhesion on cellulose fibres. They can also be used directly to create soft grey, beige, or silver-brown tones. Simple, effective, and entirely natural, whole Oak Galls are an essential foundation for serious natural dyeing.

Benefits

Oak Galls are one of nature’s strongest tannin sources, giving unmatched mordanting power. For artisans and studios focused on sustainability, this plant-based alternative to synthetic fixatives ensures lasting colour with zero chemical additives. It’s simple to use, consistent across batches, and versatile enough for both cellulose and protein fibres.

Perfect For:

Tannin treatment for cellulose fabrics.
Pale neutral dyeing or shading.
Creating iron-tannin greys for antique effects.
