THe wool blanket shirt I made was a light grey material, I died it black (trying to get it to be a darkish grey)....................

and it came our purple!!!!!! No matter what I used after (two packs of dye, less water, even tried black waterbased leather dye) it hasn't changed the colour at all!! Now when I wear it I feel like the Joker.

Lol

Good for clowning around in the wilderness though.

Useful link. So tangerine is the way to go. Would other citris fruits work?

I prefer strawberries and cream

Used the same dye remover brand as the dye, it stayed a medium purple, and after all my dying attempts, it's a dark purple. But in some lights it looks like charcoal gray. Go figure, eh? Blame it on the hollow fibers that wool is made from (and what makes it such a kick ass material!)

Long as it does it's job, all is well. Even looking like a jester, least the ladies will be happy to share body heat under a purple throw haha
