How root bark reaches Colorado

Colorado is a short journey from our California branch: parcels stay in the western states from the moment they leave us, and the delivery window is confirmed with your order. The same service, at the same prices, covers neighbouring Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona, so a guild or a class that spans the state line can order to either side of it.

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

USGS regional data show very hard water across much of Colorado; local supplies vary. Very hard water is the commonest reason a Mimosa bath turns brown instead of purple, because the minerals push the pot alkaline. For the clearest color, use rainwater or distilled water for the dye bath, or bring tap water down to about pH 5 to 6 with white vinegar or citric acid before the bark goes in.

Storing root bark in Colorado

NOAA's climate summary for Colorado describes semiarid, generally dry. Dry air works in bark's favour. Keep it sealed and out of direct sun, which fades the powder and the cut faces of shredded bark over time, and it holds its color well past a year.

Sassafras and Colorado

Sassafras albidum is native to eastern North America and does not grow wild in Colorado, 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.
