Possibly a silly question about material.

I only started tie dyeing last year and I’ve gotten great results so far. Having so much fun with it! I started off solely with 100% cotton for the sake of being sure it would work. I recently branched out to allow some more variety (some shirts I get at thrift stores) and I’ve started using rayon and modal. I recently just learned that viscose is a type of rayon that also takes on color well. What else am I missing out on that I can dye? The more fabrics I can work with, the more likely I’ll be able to find clothes at thrift stores to dye so I don’t have to buy all my shirts new online. Are cotton/rayon/modal/viscose all the good materials for ice dye? Or am I missing out on others? With all the blatantly incorrect info google AI is spitting out lately I don’t trust googling anymore. So I came here to ask the pros. It’s ok if those are my only options, I just figured I’d ask in case there are others I’ve missed. Thanks for any advice!
