Oh, I forgot to say, I was tie-dying T-shirts, so first we soaked them in a pre-dye solution (I forget what it was called), then squirted on the dye and left it sit for some number of hours. The thing is, there was no agitation required, which would be good news for your sweater.

The heat and agitation in most dye instructions, even those for wool, makes me very antsy. I'm not really into dyeing or working with wool, but I got this sweater for Christmas years ago, have never worn it because it's boring, and have decided I might as well dye it. If it works, I have a nice-quality ivory 1950s cashmere cardigan I'd like to do next.
