Ordering from Alaska

Ordering from Alaska takes three steps. Choose a cut and a size and place your order with your Alaska delivery address. A person checks the stock and the address and sends payment details for the method you chose in your order chat and by email. Once the payment arrives, the bark is weighed, packed in a nitrogen-flushed, smell-proof bag and shipped from California, and the tracking number follows. Root bark travels to Alaska as a standard parcel with tracking, packed in a double-sealed, smell-proof bag flushed with nitrogen so it arrives fresh.

Dyeing with root bark in Alaska

How root bark reaches Alaska

Parcels to Alaska travel from California by air as well as road, so allow a little longer than for an address in the lower 48; the window is confirmed with your order.

Tap water in Alaska, and what it does to a Mimosa dye bath

USGS regional data show mostly moderately hard water, softer in the far north. Moderately hard water is workable, but it nudges the bath toward alkaline. If a first bath comes out browner than you expected, a small splash of white vinegar or a pinch of citric acid, to bring the pot to about pH 5 to 6, usually brings the purples back.

Storing root bark in Alaska

NOAA's climate summary for Alaska describes highly variable; cold winters and cool summers. The usual rule applies: keep bark sealed, dry and out of the light, away from a damp basement, and it holds its color well past a year.

Sassafras and Alaska

Sassafras albidum is native to eastern North America and does not grow wild in Alaska, so sassafras root bark is one of the few ways to work with it here. On alum-mordanted wool it gives warm tans and rose-browns, and it overdyes well on a pale Mimosa hostilis pink.
