Dyeing with root bark in South Dakota
How root bark reaches South Dakota
Parcels to South Dakota 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 North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana, so a guild or a class that spans the state line can order to either side of it.
Tap water in South Dakota, and what it does to a Mimosa dye bath
USGS regional data show hard to very hard water across South Dakota. 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 South Dakota
NOAA's climate summary for South Dakota describes moist east, semiarid west. 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 South Dakota
Sassafras albidum is native to eastern North America and does not grow wild in South Dakota, 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.

Lakota star quilts are usually dominated by a single eight-sided star pieced from small diamond-shaped patches. The star pattern derives from early buffalo robe designs, and the quilts are valued gifts at memorials, naming ceremonies and marriages. Aktá Lakota Museum & Cultural Center
