Walnut husk پوست گردو
Walnut husk (پوست گردو) is the green outer hull of the walnut, Juglans regia. Iranica lists it, with oak bark, as the Persian source of browns, beiges and tans; Serab weavers are said to have dyed Shahsavan wool with it for their camel tones. Dark browns fixed with an iron mordant are the colours that corrode with age.
