    Alasann,

    If you will go to the Dharma Trading web site. They have a complete
    description of dying processes on line under procion dyes.
    If you order their catalog it also has the processes in print.

    Diane, who is just learning about procion dyes and got all my chemicals last
    week and planning to dye tomorrow.
