My instructor when I was learning about laundering had been a commercial dyer. He said if you wanted a garment dyed it was better to throw it away first. Cheaper! However if you wish to dye it dylon is probably the best thing you can get if you are not in the trade. Follow in instructions re temperature and length of treatment but if it is wool do not use a machine. A bowl and mix the dye up well then put the garment in an make sure it is fully soaked in the dye. Cover it over with a piece of cloth. Something you don't mind getting dyed as well then leave it for the dye work. When you are satisfied with the results rinse the garment and dry in the usual way. Unlike cotton wool fibres are not hollow so they don't need so much agitation to get the dye into the fibre. However the wool fibres have scales and if you agitate the material too much the scales open up and interlock with the scales in the next strand of fibre causing shrinkage and felting so take it easy
