Tanya,
I use Procion dyes. They are a cold water dye for dyeing cellulose (plant fibers - cotton, bamboo, linen). The amt of dye powder you use is based on the weight of the fabric and how intense of a hue you want, the "Depth of Shade." The sun was a Depth of Shade was 4% - which is nearly the max for all colors but black, and the moon fabrics were made with a combination of Turquoise/Yellow/Black/Red, put on in 2 dyebaths. I have toyed with the idea of making a tutorial. It is really quite easy to do.
Thanks for the feedback.
