I've used the Rit dyes, they aren't bad at all. On those you just follow the directions, they say to use salt. The rinsing process takes forever though. >< But thats just gonna be how it works. 3nodding
If theres a particular dye you want to use, i would run some searches online and see what mordant it says to use. I have a book somewhere that gives some formulas for natural dyes... *runs to find it*
Theres alot of good information in here, if you want i can make a tutorial with the information it gives. It goes from collecting dyestuffs to preparing your fiber to making and using a dyebath, then information on mordants and then it also has general tips.
I have a chart with different flowers, berries, and whatnot, along with what morant to use, and specifics on times. It also has color samples for what they come out looking like. it also has pictures of some of the flowers. I can scan these couple pages in for you if you want.
Just to let you know, tea and coffee don't need any mordants.
