Dying hunting shirt with walnuts

BrianS:
I made this video about dying with black walnuts. I am no expert at the process but it may be of interest to some.
Take care,

GlisGlis:
that's cool  :OK
you could apply a sort of camo pattern  (branches and leaves) with a brush using the same walnut dye more concentrated.
If you want to preserve the walnut dye I suggest you to add some vinegar. When I made it the dye developed mold quite quickly (maybe it was not concentrated enough)

White Falcon:
You can dye them in tea also.

WhistlingBadger:
Interesting.  I've read about Robert Rogers and his Rangers wearing green buckskins, and I wonder what they used to dye them.

Pappy:
Nice job Brian, I have a big pan just like that one. :) I did a white wool sweater that I knew i would never wear and it turned out great, more of a grey ish than brown but love the look.
