Ordering from Hawaii takes three steps. Choose a cut and a size and place your order with your Hawaii 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 Hawaii as a standard parcel with tracking, packed in a double-sealed, smell-proof bag flushed with nitrogen so it arrives fresh.

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

USGS regional data put the Hawaiian Islands in the soft-water band. Soft water suits Mimosa hostilis well: the bath stays close to neutral, which is where the rose and plum tones hold, so most dyers here can use tap water as it comes. The one thing soft municipal water can carry is chlorine, which dulls some colors; filling the dye pot the night before and letting it stand uncovered lets most of it escape. Rainwater, naturally soft and slightly acidic, is the ideal dye water if you can collect it.

Storing root bark in Hawaii

NOAA's climate summary for Hawaii describes tropical, with a November–April wet season. Where the summers are humid, damp is the thing to guard against: keep bark sealed in its bag or an airtight jar, add a desiccant packet if it will sit for months, and store it somewhere cool rather than in a basement or a garage that sweats in summer.

Sassafras and Hawaii

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

Fiber and dye heritage in Hawaii

Kapa, Hawaiian barkcloth, is made from the stripped bark of cultivated paper mulberry. Early Hawaiians elevated the Polynesian craft by adding fermentation, watermarks and bold natural pigments, and native plants are still used to dye it. U.S. National Park Service

Hawaiian dye plants include ʻōlena, whose younger roots give pale yellow and older roots a golden yellow-orange, and the endemic maʻo, whose leaves were used for light green or red-brown dye and flowers for yellow. Mānoa Heritage Center
