How root bark reaches Pennsylvania

Parcels to Pennsylvania cross the whole country from our California branch to the Northeast, the longest journey in the lower 48, 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 New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia and Ohio, so a guild or a class that spans the state line can order to either side of it.

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

USGS regional data show soft to moderately hard water in the east and harder water in parts of the west. 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 Pennsylvania

NOAA's climate summary for Pennsylvania describes moist; humid summer heat in the southeast. 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 Pennsylvania

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