Title: dye from acorns??
Post by: Larry Pletcher on September 29, 2009, 11:15:15 PM

My concrete drive is stained with dark brown spots left from acorns.  I'm curious if anyone makes dye for pouches from acorns.  I know it's done with walnuts but haven't heard about acorns.  Anybody try it?

Regards,
Pletch

I,m in the process of trying it now, making a batch like you would make walnut dye guess I'll see how it works in a day or so.

You have to eat the acorn mush first......... Then use the left over caps to make the dye.............................
