Here's the info on the dye kit from that co-op. It's Procion dyes, which are my favorite, but it's pricey unless you're serious about using it. If you want more info, PM me and I'll pass you a link to the group.
4oz Kits
$80 includes everything below, except the shipping to you:
All dyes are Procion MX, and will come in single sided black jars with screw on lids~Keep dyes in a closed
container in a cool, dry place and they will remain usable for several years.
Use for tie-dye, immersion dyeing, batik, airbrush, garment dyeing, screen-printing, spatter painting,
gradation dyeing for quilters and more! Procion MX fiber reactive dye will dye all cellulose (plant) fibers
and some protein (animal) fibers such as wool and silk. Commmon cellulose fibers are cotton, hemp, linen, jute,
ramie, sisal, and rayon~Do not use to dye synthetics. Jacquard dyes give you the most brilliant color of all dyes, MX Dyes
are permanent, colorfast and very washable. Typically, 2/3 ounce will dye more than 1 pound of fabric—very bright
colors will require more dye, pastel colors will require less

Not included:
*Soda Ash, can be purchased at any pool, pool & spa, Wal-Mart, K-Mart etc. for around .50 per pound. It is not worth it
to buy online since it costs more to ship it than the actual soda ash costs.
*White Vinegar is optional according to your preference~Vinegar can be substituted for soda ash on wool & silk
*Non-Iodized Salt is optional according to your preference, some grocery stores may carry it
*Urea is also optional, and again is not worth the shipping costs, but it may be purchased online or a chemical supply store~
Urea is a humectant. Humectants attracts moisture from the air, keeping the fiber damp longer allowing a greater reaction
time for the dye. Urea is used with sodium alginate thickener when printing, painting or directly applying Procion dye to
fiber or is added to Procion dye for super intense color
*Blanks (white clothing items that are dyeable) are in the database
*Ivory Dish soap has the same properties as Synthrapol and may be substituted (this info comes straight from the dye company,
plus I have *heard* it several times)
*Baking Soda may be substituted for soda ash on cottons if you are going to be boiling~steaming~baking the garments
*Dental Floss may also be used to tye smaller items
*Sodium alginate is used to thicken the dye to a paste consistency for printing and hand painting. Sodium alginate is
derived from seaweed and is the most desirable thickener for Procion MX dye. Use Sodium Alginate SH for cotton and
other cellulose fibers. It may also be used for silk when fine line definition is not required. Use Sodium Alginate F for
silk and synthetics when fine line definition is desired.
