Washfast dyes are cheaper than Sabraset but I find that the dye doesn't set very well despite following the directions exactly.  The dyebath is clear when done but if I overdye the skein a lot of the first color seeps out.  Sabraset has become very expensive but my memory is that it sets better.  Does anyone care to comment from their own experience?  Thanks.

I've always used Jaquard dyes.  Excellent, reproducable, fast results.

When not using "natural" dyes I use Lanaset for wool, Procion for vegetable, and Jaquard for silk.  I've tried alternatives but was not satisfied.
