household cooking salt is ideal.

one men’s business shirt, 2 ladies small tops, 3 face washers,
2 hand towels or larger amounts to lighter shades.
- Remember to ensure the dye vessel allows
free movement of the fabric when dyeing, for larger items in laundry
sinks you may need 2 packs of hand dye.

results, e.g. pastel shades.
