Dyeing with root bark in Montana
How root bark reaches Montana
Montana is a short journey from our California branch: parcels stay in the western states from the moment they leave us, and the delivery window is confirmed with your order. The same service, at the same prices, covers neighbouring North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Idaho, so a guild or a class that spans the state line can order to either side of it.
Tap water in Montana, and what it does to a Mimosa dye bath
USGS regional data show moderately hard water in the western mountains and hard to very hard water on the eastern plains. 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 Montana
NOAA's climate summary for Montana describes dry air; cold winters. Dry air works in bark's favour. Keep it sealed and out of direct sun, which fades the powder and the cut faces of shredded bark over time, and it holds its color well past a year.
Sassafras and Montana
Sassafras albidum is native to eastern North America and does not grow wild in Montana, 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 Montana
Montana's 150,000 shorn sheep produced 1.26 million pounds of wool in 2025, averaging 8.4 pounds per fleece, and the state held 180,000 sheep and lambs on January 1, 2026, according to USDA figures. USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, Sheep and Goats (January 30, 2026)
Montana State University Extension notes that native big sagebrush gives a muted green dye, goldenrod flowers a vibrant gold, chokecherry and serviceberry berries purple, and tannin-rich alder bark brown to black. Montana State University Extension
