The best local store I've found in the Houston area for dye is Texas Art Supply. They carry Jacquard Procion MX dyes, and the Jacquard tie-dye kit which is superior to other brands of tie-dye kits. (Avoid the Rit brand tie-dye kit, which is very inferior.) They also carry Jacquard Acid dyes, which are good for wool and silk. The selection is much better than at hobby and crafts stores such as Michael's, and the prices  are even significantly better.

If you really get into dyeing, you will find much better prices for dyes by mail-order, if you order at least two ounces of each color. See the companies listed on my page of Sources for Dyeing Supplies Around the World.
