I use the dye kits that they sell at Easter to dye Easter Eggs.  I stock up on the kits after Easter, when stores clearance them out.  I usually get them for around $.20 a piece.

I can't wait to try the rit dyes.  I also have spray dyes for paper that will work on fabric.  They have shimmer in them also.  Fun to try especially on small projects.

I use the same vinegar that you use for cooking.  The clear one is best.

I'm going to dye some Aida cloth this weekend with my various dyes.  I'll do some before and after photos...:dizzy:

I've dyed fabric using both coffee and tea. I think coffee works better for the colors I wanted, but you'll have to try for yourself.

I am using kool aid and doing batik dying. I've tried that because I had kool aid left from dying mohair for teddy bear fur. And it worked. Just watch out if planning on using those as some of the colors are very intense.
