i dye fabric every week, some times a few times a week.
a few people have sent me PMs on the topic and this is a copy of the message i send to them........
i buy my PFD from joanne's online when they have 50% coupons.
i buy the Kona Cotton 58/60 inch wide, i prefer the quality and hand of it over the 44 inch wide plus i can use it for hand dyed backing fabric.

then i buy my dye from dharma trading, i keep 11 colors in stock all the time and from those 11 colors i can mix any color under the sun that i want.
the colors are
lemon yellow, turquoise, fuchsia red, golden yellow, cobalt, chinese red, kelly green, deep orange, grape, black, and new black.

then the best book to buy for knowing the formulas for 900+ colors is the fabric dyer's dictionary. it gives you a color swatch and the recipe to make that color
