How root bark reaches Indiana

Parcels to Indiana cross the Rockies from our California branch into the Midwest, so allow a little longer than for a western address; the delivery window is confirmed with your order. The same service, at the same prices, covers neighbouring Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois, so a guild or a class that spans the state line can order to either side of it.

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

USGS regional data show hard water across most of Indiana, very hard in places. Hard water is the commonest reason a Mimosa bath turns brown instead of purple, because the minerals push the pot alkaline. 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 Indiana

NOAA's climate summary for Indiana describes cold winters and humid summers. 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 grows wild in Indiana

Sassafras albidum, the tree our sassafras root bark comes from, is native to Indiana, and it is easy to spot on a walk by its three leaf shapes on one branch: plain ovals, mittens and three-lobed leaves. Dyers here are working with one of their own region's traditional dye trees; on alum-mordanted wool the root bark gives warm tans and rose-browns.

Fiber and dye heritage in Indiana

In 2024 the Indiana State Museum's exhibition Woven Together showed more than 30 Jacquard coverlets by Indiana weavers, drawn from the collection of John Simmermaker of Pulaski County. Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites

The Jacquard loom was first recorded in Indiana in 1838. Before then, Indiana coverlets were made in overshot weave, overwhelmingly by women weaving at home, often combining designs with natural dyes. Indiana Historical Bureau (Kathleen Donoho, Ball State University honors thesis)
