Gallnut powder
Dyeing auxiliaries
Price range: 10,00€ through 30,00€
La Gallnut powder is a valuable source of tannins, capable of generating earthy tones ranging from light yellow, beige and cream to light brown.
This versatile powder is effective on both cellulose and protein fibres. The addition of a ferrous mordant enables shades ranging from greys to purplish blacks to be obtained, further enriching the available colour palette.
For cellulosic fibres, Galla Walnut powder proves particularly effective as a biting, especially in combination with aluminium acetate, guaranteeing high quality and long-lasting results.
Dyeing auxiliaries
The Dyeing auxiliaries are essential to ensure uniform application of the natural dye on the textile fibres and correct fixation. Each auxiliary gradually and uniformly releases its acidity or alkalinity, thus promoting optimal dyeing and preventing possible colour changes. Their use ensures excellent, long-lasting results in artisan dyeing.
Doses and timing
Maeko avoids going into details concerning proportions, doses and specific times, leaving such information to those who already have experience in natural dyeing.
It is essential that those approaching this process have the freedom to experiment and adapt the techniques according to their own needs and experience.
Here we offer an extensive showcase, designed to encourage the practice of hand-dyeing and stimulate everyone's creativity.
