Danl,
The purpose of the vinegar is to "set" the dye, so that it doesn't wash out. Maybe "a little vinegar" is not quite enough. I would use at least 1/4 cup of white vinegar to 1 qt. of dye bath. I have never added salt to any of my dye baths, except that in the dye powder. Best- "If I have been able to see over the horizon, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants," Sir Isaac Newton snip some salt and a little vinegar. I don't know why, just read it somewhere.
