Cochineal looks fairly straight-forward if the instuctions here, http://earthguild.com/products/riff/rcochinel.htm , are to be believed. And I don't think I've ever heard of it giving a color other than something in the red family, like indigo gives blues... I bet you'll do just fine with it!RaeShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01841066344380185598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14618504.post-1164905896324084642006-11-30T11:58:00.000-05:002006-11-30T11:58:00.000-05:00I do, but I haven't done anything with it yet.

It's here http://earthguild.com/products/riff/rindigo.htm all the way at the bottom of the page. Doesn't seem too complicated, dangerous or smelly.
