Dyeing with root bark in Maryland

How root bark reaches Maryland

Parcels to Maryland 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 Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware and District of Columbia, so a guild or a class that spans the state line can order to either side of it.

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

USGS regional data show soft to moderately hard water across Maryland. 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 Maryland

NOAA's climate summary for Maryland describes warm, 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 Maryland

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