I am just having trouble reconciling the heat and agitation most wool-dyeing instructions require, with what that might do to wool, particularly wool that has already been knitted up and thefore shrinkage is an issue. Most people seem to be dyeing yarn. I like muddy colors though, and can't usually achieve them with Procion MX dyes, which I have lots of around. I know they are not officially wool dyes but people seem to use them for wook anyway. Fran Sharon Collier wrote: > Try Dharma Trading Company. They have lovely dyes that work in cold > water.
