oak galls

Oak Galls is our newest experiment.  We have been trying for months to get a dark grey color and we are finally getting close!  We crush the oak galls and boil to make a dark dye.  We then use a natural iron bath and have achieved a dark grey-blue color that we are in love with!  

Oak galls come from the Aleppo Oak Tree native to Southern Europe and we are so happy we have found their beauty!
