Welcome to the Amazing World of Natural Dye!
So, you want to explore Natural Dyes.... You've found the right place!
Red Sandalwood can be used at .5:1 ratio with the richest and darkest colors presenting when using a 1:1 weight ratio.
This means that 40 grams will dye approximately 40 grams (dry weight) of fiber/fabric.
It will continue to dye in lighter shades till the dye has been used up. Use less for a lighter hue.
Additionally, for the best color, pre-soak the dye in alcohol before dyeing.
