Overdyeing Chart
Our chart shows you what happens when you dye colours over several colours of wool. It works no matter your dye brand, colour is colour.
Running down the right hand of the chart is a list of many common colours of wool we dye. They are: tan, gray, natural, orange, yellow green turquoise, blue, violet, red, darker brown and darker grey. The chart assumes you are dyeing 1/4 yd of wool or about 3.2 to 3.4 oz.
Along the top of the dye chart runs the list of common dye colours: orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, violet, red, brown and black, The chart presumes you use 1/8tsp of dye to over dye with.
This chart is about predictable colour interactions.
The magic happens when you follow the paths where dye and wool meet to see the interaction between them.
Do you have yellow wool and want to see what it would look like dyed with violet dye?
Just follow the row down of violet dye until it meets the yellow wool row and you'll see the colour you can kinda expect where they meet.
What you can't imagine is revealed quickly and easily. You'll see the generalized colour you can expect.
Of course ....All of this side and top stuff is hidden from view here.
