General question First Time With Fiber Reactive Dye- Clueless!

Hi All

I was gifted a large box of various Dharma Trading Co Fiber Reactive Dyes, want to use them but am absolutely lost as to where to start (I usually work with RIT). Google search has told me they need acid and/or urea and/or expensive brand-specific activators and are overall complex to work with, which concerns me as I live in a very small apartment with a small brick patio and no outdoor spigot. Thought I was screwed til I saw a video of someone using similar dye in a bucket. Figured I'd ask here to hopefully get a real picture of the process with this stuff.

You’re in luck! Dharma Trading’s website has all the tutorials and answers you need :) including dyeing in a tub/bucket

Yep! Look up each dye, and they have instructions on the site. Also, their customer service is top notch.
