I have some off white ragwool mitts and gloves that I want to dye a darker color, for obvious reasons. Does wool dye easily? Anything I should know?

Try some RIT fabric dye from the laundry isle. I use it to dye leather, cloth, and wood. It works great. I've never tried it on wool. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Whatever you do make sure you use hot water in the washing machine and high heat in the dryer to set the dye.

This was actually pretty easy. Local walmart didnt have brown or dark green and I was up all night so I didnt drive to one of the other choices.
Some emerald green and a dash of black gave me a n8ce grayish blue tint.

You can also use kool-aid packets as dye. I use them to dye turkey feathers for fletching.
