These skeins are dyed with black walnut from my yard. After soaking the hulls in water, they are boiled for an hour. The liquid is then cooled and then skeins are added. The liquid is heated up again with the skeins for an hour and allowed to rest overnight.
After a quick rinse, the skeins then go into a light iron bath dip to modify the color to a deeper chocolate brown. Two weeks of curing afterward, the skeins are thoroughly washed and ready to go home to you!
