How root bark reaches Tennessee

Parcels to Tennessee 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 Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Missouri, so a guild or a class that spans the state line can order to either side of it.

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

USGS regional data show soft water in the east and moderately hard to hard water in Middle and West Tennessee. 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 Tennessee

NOAA's climate summary for Tennessee describes warm, humid 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 Tennessee

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

The Pi Beta Phi Settlement School in Gatlinburg introduced weaving to its students, and from the mid-1920s their handcrafts were marketed nationally as Arrowcraft. Its manual arts program later grew into the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. Tennessee Encyclopedia

Rutherford County weaver Mary Ann Sanders Dill wove her overshot coverlet "Nine Snowballs and Table" in 1855, using natural cotton with red and blue wool. Local dyes came from native trees, barks, roots and flowers. Rutherford County Tennessee Historical Society
