I have a lovely pale grey wool winter coat that I would like to revamp. I'm thinking a nice new colour and a funky new lining. The label says dry clean only. Would dying it work or completely ruin it?

Is there a tiny bit of fabric that you could cut away to use as a trial?

There are few cold water dyes that would be suitable, heat is usually what knackers the woollen weave and closes its all up! What content is the wool?

There are some dry cleaners that still send stuff away for dying. Have you tried asking about?

you might get away with the cold water dyes..................but like flo says best to try to find a small piece you could cut away and test, maybe out of the pocket

PHEWWWW Glad thats all it was!!!!!!

dyeing I think ?

Yep I get that now but what a scary thread title - woke me up at work thats for sure. I'm such a softy you see.....

Sorry all. I did spell it the right way, then looked at it and it didn't look right, so I changed it. Must've been having a blond moment

I have blonde moments alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the time

And I wish I did

Sometimes I let people assume I'm a dumb blonde. Has wonderful consequences occasionally when I upturn them on their ass...umptions!

(Usually in high-tech situations such as computer fairs and the like...)

I'm actually a brunette but I'm the biggest blond there is!

But I do agree MB, that it is fun to play one when it's actually something you know loads about.

MB way to go

I have some blond jokes it might be opportune to unleash on yous.

Wait a bit BRB They might cause offence to blondes though. Does anyone mind

There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blonde on the opposite bank. "Yoo-hoo!" she shouts, "How can I get to the other side?"

The second blonde looks up the river then down the river and shouts back, "You ARE on the other side."

Of course I'm deeply offended

so am I

Sorry, but it's bloody funny!!!!

LIke the blonde buying a television.....

Walks down the street, sees a really nice one in a shop window so in she walks and waits for a sales assistant. "How much is the television in the window?" she asks him. "I'm sorry", he replies "we donlt sell blondes in here". Feeling a bit knocked back she walks out.

Not to be done by some greasy twerp she puts all her brain cell into use and the next day tries again but this time with a brunette wig on. She fins a different sales assistant this time, "How much is the television in the window?" she asks him. "I'm sorry", he replies "We don't sell blondes in here - my colleague told you that yesterday". Feeling a bit upset at her ploy failing she walks out yet again.

After sleeping on it she has a great idea and phones a make up artist. This time she has a red wig and is made up to look old (over 25 this time!). So in she walks to the shop, finds the manager and croaks "Excuse me young man, how much is that television in the window?"......"Look here!" he says, "I'm getting a bit fed up at you blondes coming on here wasting our time. My staff have already told you we don't serve blondes so get out!".

Well she just can't understand it so she asks him a bit tearfully "But how do you know I'm blond? I've been brunette and red haired".

"Because", says the manager "thats not a television its a bleddy Microwave".........
