For all six covers (about 5.5 pounds of fabric total), I ended up using about four packets of chestnut iDye, two brown, two crimson, one olive. I did it as about six separate dye baths to achieve the mottled/textured look. I'm really liking how the hand-dyed fabrics are breaking up the modern lines and materials of the IKEA stuff. (I love IKEA, but not crazy about entire rooms of it, or for that matter, any room that's made of mostly or entirely brand-new coordinating items. I think that if your room looks like the whole thing was delivered from a showroom, ur doin it rong.)
