Black Oak

Black Oak (sawdust of the bark of the Quercus velutina). This dye was "discovered" by Edward Bancroft who marketed it as Quercitron (by combining its latin name with "citron" for yellow). Anxious to promote his find, he claimed the dye to be four times as strong as old fustic and up to ten times more powerful than weld. It is undoubtedly a strong dye, producing attractive yellows on mordanted fibers.
