The more porous the fabric, the easier it will take to the dye - cotton soaks up dye much better than most synthetic fabrics. Just make sure to wash whatever it is you are dying first, so that way you can avoid any problems with fabric shrink afterward.

Natural fibers such as cotton will absorb dye better than synthetics such as polyester or nylon.
