A quick note on the use of vinegar. Vinegar is an acid, similar to the Stop Bath used in photo processing. Its main function is to "set" the color and make it permanent.
The idea of using all vinegar is logical and the idea of adding a little PhotoFlow - another darkroom chemical makes sense too. If you don't have any PhotoFlow, you can substitute a capful of any good liquid dish soap to a gallon of your dyeing solution. The detergent makes the liquid "wetter" and allows the dye to flow more evenly.

Kool Aid (no sugar) is a cheap and effective dye. Forget Rit. Black is a combo of all the basic colors, right?
