I have some yarn to knit up, but can't think of anything that will look good. I can use KA, Wiltons and I have the following colors in perfection dyes: seal brown, plum, coral, silver gray and dark green.

I need to make one more pair of longies and I want to make a skirty. I am thinking I want to go with warm/darker/winter colors, but can't figure out what color combintation I want.

I found the directions on dying wool with RIT. I am going to experiment with that too.

I think a plum, dark green and brown would be very Fall-ish and rich.

no. It's supposed to work on wool?

It is. It is a *thinkthinkthink* uh....

It plays for both teams. :laugh:

Can be used on protein or animal fibers. That is why so much dye is left in the pot. It never exhausts. It has both kinds in it.
