Iron oxides for reds, charcoal's for black, walnuts, berries just to name a very, very few. I have some literature in paperback form I purchased a few years ago, outlined many natural sources, if I find it I'll give you the name.

Just don't expect natural dyes to do much on cotton or linen. Wool dyes easily. Linen, however, is notoriously difficult, if not impossible, to dye well. I've quit trying. :wink:
