Dyeing with root bark in New Mexico
How root bark reaches New Mexico
New Mexico 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 Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona and Utah, so a guild or a class that spans the state line can order to either side of it.
Tap water in New Mexico, and what it does to a Mimosa dye bath
USGS regional data show very hard water across most of New Mexico. Very hard water is the commonest reason a Mimosa bath turns brown instead of purple, because the minerals push the pot alkaline. For the clearest color, 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 New Mexico
NOAA's climate summary for New Mexico describes arid to semiarid. 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 New Mexico
Sassafras albidum is native to eastern North America and does not grow wild in New Mexico, 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 New Mexico
By the 13th century, Native people grew cotton in what is now New Mexico and wove it into textiles on vertical looms, akin to the free-standing upright looms still used by Diné (Navajo) weavers. National Park Service, New Mexico Fiber Arts Traditions
Woolen textiles became an important New Mexico industry, traded to Alta California on the Old Spanish Trail. Rio Grande blankets, serapes and rugs, woven on horizontal floor looms introduced by the Spanish, were among the most popular trade items. National Park Service, New Mexico Fiber Arts Traditions
