The best place to start is with the prepared-for-dyeing fabrics at Dharma Trading Co. Their fabrics have no coatings or treatments that would make them resist the dye. Cotton and linen fabrics from Dharma do not need to be washed before dying. They recommend washing silk fabrics with Synthrapol first (also available from Dharma), in order to take out any remaining silk worm gum.

Acid dyes as best for solid-color dyeing of silk. I personally use the reactive dyes on silk because they are so simple and can be done in the washing machine. However, on silk, the reactive dyes do not come out the same colors as on cotton, so it requires experimentation to get what you want. If you want true-to-swatch silk colors and want to experiment with the acid dyes, they require very hot water, either in the washer, or on top of the stove. Acid dyes will also dye nylon.

The ratio of the velocity to the clearance is known as shear rate.

It is a range of selected color that will usually consist of groups of color, chosen with regard to trends and predicated directions.
