This info is from Fabric_Fancy


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 have, 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.

here's a link to the dye i use

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