FYI...I used to do a lot of fabric dying. If you want to set the dye in the fabric after you reach the desired color, soak the dyed fabric in a hot vat (depending on the size of the pot) with 1 to 2 cups of white vinegar and 1/2 or 1 cup of salt. Soak for about an hour then rinse in cold water vats until the water is clear. Rit liquid dye works best, but I highly suggest you do your dying at a laundromat...don't mess up your washer (hint from a concerned woman). :wink:
