Dylon Hand Dye https://amzn.to/2t21LlE (Affiliate link) can add bright colors to both wool and cotton yarns. You can even create vibrant, speckled yarn without heat!  All you need to do is have a safe work surface to work, some dye powder, and damp yarn and BOOM - awesome speckles. Watch how I created these stunning yarns.
