So I bought some black Dylon hand-dye and dyed all of the pale yellow and some white yarn and also a t-shirt. Because the cotton doesn't much take colour the final colour was more indigo than black. There seemed to be a lot of pigment in the dye liquid so I just kept on putting more stuff in the bucket. Some were overnight in the dye. I also put more hot water and salt in to keep the pigment strong. The final dyed object, the t-shirt and the old white Anchor cotton hanks, turned out to have quite lovely jeans blue hue.
