Try Dharma Trading Company. They have lovely dyes that work in cold water. I have used them on cotton T-shirts and the dyes stays bright and doesn't wash out. Colors aren't muddy.

The heat and agitation in most dye instructions, even those for wool, makes me very antsy. I'm not really into dyeing or working with wool, but I got this sweater for Christmas years ago, have never worn it because it's boring, and have decided I might as well dye it. If it works, I have a nice-quality ivory 1950s cashmere cardigan I'd like to do next.
