If your sweater is machine washable, you can make it black again with RIT dye. I've done the same thing with a black shirt. Follow the directions carefully and it works great. If your sweater isn't machine washable, I'm not sure what you can do. I'd call a dry cleaners and ask their advice. Good luck.

The above answers are sufficient, but a good tip is to use a cup or more of white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar if you don't have anything else) and soak your dark clothes in the mixture of vinegar & water for 10 minutes.
The best time to do it is when they haven't been washed yet. You can also add vinegar to the rinse cycle. Vinegar deodorizes clothes so you don't have to worry about the laundry smelling like vinegar. Especially if you put your clothes in the dryer - the vinegar will evaporate.
Also, if you hang to dry, make sure that there is enough air flow and the fabrics are spread apart sufficiently enough to dry well so that the vinegar has a chance to evaporate with the water.
The way the vinegar works is that it sets the pigment molecules in your clothes. If you want to see how it works, after soaking your clothes in the vinegar and water (the more vinegar the better), look closely and you'll see that your clothes almost have a unique shine to them - that's the vinegar either binding the pigments or restoring them. You can use it on faded fabrics to restore the colour.

on account that there is not any genetic marker for race - the markers are for melanin production and particularly many times the markers are tied to different characteristics. that's definitely a fantastically exciting and sophisticated question/answer. at last, that trait won't dominate yet generations later, 2 people could have youngsters who've matching recessive characteristics that could desire to deliver it back out. the least complicated thank you to work out it is to look at eye shade because of the fact the dominant/recessives are lots much less stressful to foretell

Your safest route would be to take it to a dry cleaners. They could tell you for sure if it's safe to dye the fabric it's made out of, and many times they can do it for you. If they can't dye it for you, but it is safe to dye, then they should be able to tell you which company in your area would be able to dye it.
