    Hey, just wondering is it possible to dye a wool hat? This is it: http://www.newlook.com/shop/mens/accessories/wool-pork-pie-hat_215805604

    It's stated as 100% wool. I would LOVE to dye it a mustard colour (likes this one from River Island and before anyone asks they do not have it in either of my local stores >:() but not sure how or if it would even be feasible.

    Thanks a million, can you buy Kool Aid in Ireland though?

    i'm sorry, i don't know. Perhaps phone around a few places and ask in individual shops? If they don't currently stock it, they might be willing to order it in and see if there's a market for it in the future.

    Dylon Hand Fabric Dyes can be used on wool, according to their website.

    Also acid dyes can be used to dye wool. Cork Art Supplies sells acid dyes on their website. They're usually really fast with orders (usually next-day delivery).
    Check out their website at: http://corkartsupplies.com

    Acid dyes are v. easy to use; you just need an old saucepan (not to be used for food preparation again), water and vinegar.
