Pick a set of instructions that seems relatively easy, and then buy the ingredients called for by that recipe.

Normally, one uses acid dyes for dyeing wool. See, for example, the Lanaset recipe at <http://www.prochemical.com/directions/Sabraset_Rainbow.htm>. Lanaset dye is very popular and high in quality.

Pro Chemical and Dye's recipe for "Garbage Bag Dyeing with Wool using PRO MX Reactive Dyes " (<http://www.prochemical.com/directions/MX_GarbageBag.htm>) might be relatively easy for you to use, since it does not requiring boiling or steaming. PRO MX dyes are the Procion MX dyes commonly used for tie-dyeing cotton.
