Hello!

Coming out of the lurking woodwork to ask a question about dyeing. I've done a 
little dying before, but don't claim to have any sort of clue!

I have a piece of 100% cotton chamois flannel (which, by the way, is lovely for 
faking the look of some wools) and it's a slightly pale red ("barn red" 
according to the label). I really want a more russet red, if that's the right 
name, sort of a more orangey, browny, warm, deep shade. Think "fall colors" not 
"Christmas." So, what color dye or dyes should I use to turn my pale red to 
this color? Brown? Orange? More red? An art store in my area carries 
Procion/Jacquard dyes, so that's probably what I'll be using. I'm not fixated 
on a specific color, I just want something different than what I've got!

Thanks in advance, and apologies if I don't reply, I'm creeping back into the 
woodwork now. :)
