Dyeing A Wool Sweater Brown/ Tutorial/ A How To Video/ DIY

[@AlexanderMason1]

With wool you should let the water cool down as much as possible so you don’t damage the wool. You also wanna press out the water rather than wring it out so you don’t damage it.

This was great. Definitely bookmarking this video for later usage. And what a great color for that sweater!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Thanks Sandy I had no idea it would turn out that good 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for Watching

[@mustang774]

Your sweater turned out nice. It is a nice colour there now. My mom used to dye sweaters the same way. Seems pretty easy to do but time consuming with the stirring. Thanks for posting this one.....Take care, Bluefin.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Thank you 😊

Some of my best survival camping stuff I got at a thrift stores

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Mine too 👍

Looks good. If you end up not liking it, you can give it to your father in law as a birthday present 🤣 He’ll never recognize it! 👍🏻

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Bwahaha 😅 😅 🤔

[@BrosephRussell]

Nice demonstration Dying the sweater it sure came out nice .

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Thanks Joseph ✋ 😊

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Pretty cool process! Nice results.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Thanks Brandon Yah, it worked out great 👍🏻

[@amersadik3926]

But hot water damages wool. How do you do this?

[@MiscMitz]

Cool process. Thank you Ray

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Yah man 👊🏻

[@smoothvern165]

That turned out a great color for the woods! Nice tutorial, man!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

I was really happy 😊 Thanks Vern

[@Abundanceforever007]

I'm a little concerned about dying wool in 80-100 degrees, where you normally should wash wool in 30. Does it damage the fabric?

[@borumfishing]

What a great result. The color is super.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Yah I was stoked 😁👍 Thanks for Watching

[@usernick8928]

I'll have to pick up a crappy stock pot, but I'm all in with this. That turned out great!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Yah man 👍 I lost some of the rinsing footage but you can put in the washer on delicate and cold water to final rinse.

[@thebushcraftbodybuilder]

Very cool video Ray. I will try to dye my wool shirt today. Thanks for the education!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Yah man 👍 Good luck

[@rockeastwood]

Seems like a lot of work! I probably just buy a brown sweater :) Information was good. I doubt I'd ever do it because I'm lazy AF -- but if I ever do, I will refer to this video again. I could use a "candy thermometer" though (if that's what you said) & if that measures how much candy I've eaten during a day. Thanks.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

😅😅😅👍I was waiting for this

[@jamesm6568]

Great great how to do. Thanx

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Glad you liked it 😁

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Working on it 😁👊🏻

[@shaunkroschel]

It looks very nice ray! Gonna have to give it a try when I find me a second hand wooly! Thanks for showing us!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Yah man 👍🏻 Thank you

[@CheezeheadChris]

Hmmmm....🤔 I picked up a Lands End fleece vest awhile back that's a lite tan brown. I'd like it to be darker. I might have to try this. Thanks for the idea.👍😎

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Yah man 👊🏻

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

I will wait for his video on how to dye wool Green and Yellow.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

😅😅😅🧀 👍

[@KidCalavera]

Awesome work! Did it shrink at all?

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Thank you 😊 Not that I could tell

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Nice tutorial!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Thank you 😊

[@HomeAtLast501]

If you had wanted an even darker brown I am wondering if you could have added some black dye to the brown.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Probably so 🤔

[@jamieslate64]

Good deal on that canning pot Ray.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Yah, we actually got two that day for under $10

[@FuturisticPast1515]

Hi I have a washer but my dryer broke is there a way to do it in the washer and would air dry work also can the brown dye be shown on top of place or navy

[@earlshaner4441]

Hi from Syracuse NY brother

[@KM-wv2og]

Would you be kind enough to tell me if this is the same process for dyeing 100% cotton jumper?😊

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

😁pretty much You'll want to get dye for cotton though and just follow directions. Thanks for Watching

[@tannenherz]

GHigh, i hope, you have had a good slipping into the new year. Kindly Fiete

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Yes 😁👍

You're welcome 😊 Thanks for Watching

[@sylviarienzo6955]

I don’t understand how anyone can risk putting a wool sweater in such hot water as it will SHRINK! If you’ve ever read the directions for washing wool sweaters, it always says to use lukewarm water. It would scare me ro do this.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Putting it in the dryer would've definitely shrunk it. It all worked out 🤷‍♂️ Appreciate you watching Have a great day

[@AlexanderMason1]

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoorsBoiling water will damage the wool and shrink it far more than putting it in the dryer will. I guarantee you that sweater is incredibly itchy and rough now.

[@megnelli]

Add a little lanolin to condition

[@sylviarienzo6955]

I came back to this video because I have some Wrangler’s jeans to dye brown. They started out as a medium brown but they have now faded to a light beige. Unacceptable color. Looks like an easy process for dying jeans, but I’m still mystified as to how the sweater didn’t shrunk to nothing after being cooked for 30 minutes in near boiling water.

[@sivingridborgersen2897]

It's the combination of friction and high temperature that causes the shrinkage. Warm water in itself, is not enough to cause shrinkage.

[@joejackson6453]

👍🤎

[@jameslynch-h8q]

Hot water and agitation are to wool what water is to electricity. No No No

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

@@jameslynch-h8q well so far it's holding up great 👍 Thanks for watching
