I have used soda ash on silk with no problems. I must admit I've
never tried it on wool. I would call Pro Chemical on the east coast.
I order my dye from either them or Dharma and they are very
knowledgeable. They will give you the definitive answer you need for
dyeing wool. Go to http://www.prochemical.com/

I use them at room temp. My info says that using heat is not
advised. I dissolve the salt in hot water and let it come to room
temp before adding dye and soda ash. I also dissolve the soda ash in
hot water and let cool.
These are the directions for dyeing cotton. If you use soda ash on
wool or silk, you will get holes or severely weakened fabric.
