I am currently dyeing 5 yards of coat weight wool a lovely shade of green. Wish me luck!

Let me know how it turns out. I have all that yellow wool to do something with. ;-)

The package lied. It said one box would do 3 yards, so I put in two boxes for five yards. It came out too light. I just re-did it with three boxes, and it's still much lighter than I'd like. If I can find enough, I'm gonna go for five boxes!

You don't happen to have a stash of yellow linen lying about do you? =)

Yellow is never my first choice of colors. I only bought the yellow wool in a moment of "going out of business" insanity. =P

I agree, but Tom decided that's what he wants for his lining. Now I just have to find it....

I tested a bunch of dyes on some strips and ended up with powder Rit Kelly green.
