I've talked with cleaners about dyeing a wool sweater. No one will do it for me. Would you know someone that will?

It seems that local cleaners no longer re-dye clothing. I've never found any that do. There are, however, several firms that you can consult via the web for a price quote, then mail the garment to them; they will dye it and send it back. Check the prices now to find out whether the cost is worth it to you.

I maintain lists of dyers, both garment dyers and custom hand-dyers, on the page, "Where can I find someone to dye my clothing for me?". You'll want to try True Color Fabric Dyeing, Spectrum Custom Fabric Dyeing, or Metro Dyeing Service in the US, or or Dye Pro Services in Canada.

Although I welcome submissions from garment dyers anywhere in the world, and frequently receive this same question from individuals in the UK, the only companies that have contacted me to be put on this list are in the US and Canada.
