I bought this shirt and love the style.  However the brown is a lot lighted then shown and I really wanted it in dark brown.  A friend said I could dye it using clothing dye.  Is this worth trying?  Any experience dying clothes??

It's Knit


Actually it says it's 94% Tencel-Lyocell and 6% spandex

From what I learned in costume design class, it is really difficult to dye anything with stretch in it. This is because the dye crystals will not disperse evenly and will leave a splotchy effect.

Do you think since I'm only going from a lighter shade to a darker shade it may work?
