Dyeing with root bark in South Carolina
How root bark reaches South Carolina
Parcels to South Carolina 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 North Carolina and Georgia, so a guild or a class that spans the state line can order to either side of it.
Tap water in South Carolina, and what it does to a Mimosa dye bath
USGS regional data put South Carolina in the soft-water band. 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 South Carolina
NOAA's climate summary for South Carolina describes humid, with hot 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 South Carolina
Sassafras albidum, the tree our sassafras root bark comes from, is native to South Carolina, 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.
Fiber and dye heritage in South Carolina
Indigo, a plant that yields a blue dye, was grown commercially in South Carolina from 1747 to 1800 and ranked second only to rice in export value. Eliza Lucas Pinckney's experiments in the 1740s helped establish the crop. South Carolina Encyclopedia
The Graniteville Manufacturing Company, the state's most important antebellum cotton mill, began operating in 1849 in present-day Aiken County. By 1900 South Carolina was second only to Massachusetts as a cotton-textile-producing state. South Carolina Encyclopedia
