It will become blue as the dye will overpower the fabric color. You may have to perform the dye function more than once to get the shade of blue you desire however.

You can never tell when dyeing, it's almost always a crap shoot, but you should attain the navy you desire IF you dye in a large pot on your stove & not the washing machine (which will use a lot more water then a pot on your stove & thereby dilute your dye a lot, heat the water to at least a simmer (which is hotter then the hottest water you'll get in your washing machine), use RIT dye that comes in a bottle, not the powdered stuff they sell in a box (I find the liquid seems a lot more concentrated) & add in a cup or so of salt to the dyebath making sure it's dissolved before putting in your jumper. The salt helps the dye to more permanently set in the fabric. Do check the garment's content label first, polyester takes very poorly to dye, natural fibers like cotton or silk take it much better. If it's a cotton/polyester blend & mostly cotton you'll probably be all right, but like I said, it's always a surprise. Oh, & use the least amount of water you can get away w/, but not so little that the jumper won't be completely covered. And you might even consider using 2 bottles of dye, or perhaps a bottle & a package. Good luck to you! : )

Probably green, but other variables which should be explained on the dye packaging. Green is better than yellow in my opinion so go for it. Make sure you uses the right dye. It's cold water dyes for wool and the ones that you can put in a washing machine for synthetics. Again, read the labels. Good luck.

Could be a rather muddy green - are you really sure you want to do this thing - Is it wool cotton Acrylic - What ?
Also - you need to carefully select an appropriate dye - because not all materials take kindly to over-dye

Depending on the original shade of yellow, I'd say it would become any number of shades of green.

My prediction is that it will be more gray-ish. You could try running it through a cycle with a color remover first.
