Ordering from Kentucky

Ordering from Kentucky takes three steps. Choose a cut and a size and place your order with your Kentucky delivery address.

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 Kentucky as a standard parcel with tracking, packed in a double-sealed, smell-proof bag flushed with nitrogen so it arrives fresh.

How root bark reaches Kentucky

Parcels to Kentucky cross the country from our California branch into the South, 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 Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri and Illinois, so a guild or a class that spans the state line can order to either side of it.

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

USGS regional data show mostly moderately hard water in Kentucky, harder in places. 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 Kentucky

NOAA's climate summary for Kentucky describes hot, humid summers and abundant rain. 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 Kentucky

Sassafras albidum, the tree our sassafras root bark comes from, is native to Kentucky, 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.
