Had a bit of an experiment this week to see how well the white Twodogs Bushshirt takes dye....I like it and it proves that the with wool can take dye ..
Its come out quite pale, I guess that's a tribute to how much wool is in the garments! Stronger colour might need a double dose.... or you can overdye i.e. just keep doing it until you get the required density. I used to do that using a couple of colours to make another so for instance, a blue overdyed a second time with yellow would make green- if you randomly tie it, you get a really interesting mottling which makes for a great, all over garment camouflaging (as opposed to using a predyed blanket where the pattern pieces would interrupt the dye effects).

To get a really good marble mottling, dampen the garment, scrumple it up bearing in mind the areas you wish to have most dye need to be towards the outside and wrap it in a bin liner, then randomly tie it tight with string and ***** it all over so the dyestuff can penetrate in areas. Leave it in the dye bath for a while to ensure plenty gets in- some areas towards the centre of the bundle wont get as much but you can use that and your initial folds to get an approximate area coverage eg if overdying a green smock with brown, lengthwise scrumpling will tend towards vertical lines, leaving the arms towards the outside will tend to make them take the dye colour more so it'll break up your silhouette when worn etc.

Heres an example using silk, single colour dye.. the garment was dyed after making so the patterning runs over the seam which runs out at 90 degrees from the string. Its a cool technique which should work as well on wool as silk :) and if the first dye is too blotchy, you can just do it again with a different colour to build up a really interesting and uniquely camo'd garment.
