Dying Wool

LadybugPicnic2011

I have an old wool sweater that is made out of angora and one other type of wool (I dont remember off the top of my head).  I would like to make a pair of longies and maybe a soaker out of it.  It is white and I am not sure how well white will work as a poo catcher.  Can I dye this?  What type of dye works best?  If I leave it white, will it turn yellow as she pees / poops?  It is super soft and we are not worried about heat issues as we are in Alaska, and evenings still get a little chilly.

According to the woollybottoms website, it needs to be less than 30% angora or it's too hairy. Not sure about your %ages.

You can dye wool/angora blends. I'm sure a quick google search would give you a good method, like this:
