I'm sorry to hear that Sg had such awful luck with Dharma customer service. I asked them the exact same question last year and this is the response that I got.

These are lots of fun and will give you great two color effects that can be very striking. To use these dyes you pick one color of each dye for each fiber, put them in a pot on the stove with the fixative and put in your fabric. Each fiber takes up the specific dye for that fiber type. If the fibers are blended together then you will get a heathered/tweedy effect. Here is a link to learn more about the Alter Ego Dyes: http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/2976897-AA.shtml?lnav=dyes.html Hope that helps. Elizabeth elizab...@dharmatrading.com Dharma Trading Co.

I read recently that more and more fabrics are blended as yarns rather than when weaving, so I don't know if this is possible. I'm thinking about hemp/silk and cotton/silk blends. Thanks!
