ok,  i don't remember who told me to try it,    but they said to use Rit die, like they use on dyeing clothes,   i tried it,  and it turned out very nice,   all that trouble & something so simple to try,   i used Forest dark green,   so who ever it was that said to try it,  i'm not sure, but wasn't it Lou?     thanks         Jerry
