How root bark reaches Michigan

Parcels to Michigan 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 Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin, so a guild or a class that spans the state line can order to either side of it.

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

USGS regional data show moderately hard water in the Upper Peninsula and hard water across most of the Lower Peninsula. Because hardness differs across the state, test a strip of pH paper in your own tap water first. Near neutral, use it as it comes; if it reads alkaline, bring the pot to about pH 5 to 6 with white vinegar or citric acid, or use rainwater, so the purples hold.

Storing root bark in Michigan

NOAA's climate summary for Michigan describes warm, humid summers and cold winters. 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 Michigan

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