dying wool ??

[tac]

Hello all ,
             I took rit die (lite brown ) and poke
             beeries  mixed them in a wash tub
             and died a shirt turned out kind of a
             Oringes brown not bad I like it .
             To set rit die you need to add
             salt, I add about 2 or 3 hand fulls
             and stir in good that seems to work
             for me .Hope this helps .
                                                    TAC.

David ,
            I have used warm water on wool
            wash it in the washing michine first
             leave it wet then  put it in the die.

She sets it in ice cold water, even adds cubes to the washer then into the dryer, course they were curtains that could be wahsed and dryed, wool and a dryer .. not a good thing unless you want that blanket for a cabbage patch doll!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Jim Beau, I should have been talking to you all along about this.
I know, beyond a doubt, there is very little in this game that you haven't "dabbled" in a bit, and amassed a tremendous, overflowing, store of knowledge in doing so.

Still yet, while knowing all this, I can not think of you without thinking of leather. Leatherman = Beaverman!
 
When I think Beaverman, I think of quality leather work! Plain and simple.
When I think Jim Smith, I think of a fellow Buckskinner with many talents, plus a very close and dear friend of the family....Go figure!
