Has anyone used Oak acorns to dye with. I am thinking they have alot of tannin in them. My plan is to gather some and run two test baths. One with Alum Sulfate and the other without any mordant to compare the two. When reading about acorns folks crush and soak the acorns. That is what I plan to do. Has anyone done this? I'll report back but I was wondering if others have walked the path!
ps, I am prepping my photos from running cactus tuna, red cedar, kota, japanese indigo and agarita chips, hopefully I'll have my blog updated and will post some photos to this group! Now if I could only gather all my notes that I generated around the dyepot! Deb
