I just got a beautiful brown from butternuts. I soaked the whole nut, husk attached until I got a nice color, strained the liquor and put in unmordanted wool. You can do the same thing with black walnuts. I wish I had pulled some of the yarn sooner so I would have had two shades. Next time. My dye books said use the bark but I had collected the nuts away from home so tried them anyway. FYI Confederate uniforms (American Civil War) were dyed with butternuts.
