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.

But you can't use the same dye (that dyes cotton in cold water) to dye wool.
Different chemicals.
Rit and other dyes like it have both types in the same package: cellulosic
dyes (for cotton, linen, hemp) *and* acid dyes (for wool, silk, mohair).
That's one of the reasons Rit dye takes so long to rinse out. If you dye
wool, you have to rinse out all the unused cellulose dye.
