dyeing a wool suit


Name: Hal Donachy
Message: I would like to dye a men's 100% wool suit from an emerald or light green to a forest or dark green. would you please recommend an at home process and product?

No. You cannot dye a garment which is not washable. If hot water is required, it is apt to shrink the suit and make it unwearable. Beware especially of sudden temperature changes, which will cause wool to felt.

If the suit is machine washable, than use any dye recommended for wool that is sold by http://www.prochemical.com or a similar supplier.
