I am wanting to know if anyone dyes their own feathers etc. If so do you
know where to obtain Olive green dye & a light gray dye?
Thanks in Advance

Stu,
Dyeing is a bit of a tricky process. I'd recommend you obtain a copy of a
book "Dyeing and Bleaching Natural Fly-Tying Materials" by A.K. Best. Go to
a library and have them get it for you if nothing else.
For dyes I basically use:
Veniard
Dylon
Rit
"Goggle" dyeing feathers and you'll get some good info.
If I was starting out, I'k get some Rit in gray, and practice a bit for that
color. I haven't figured out olive. Heck . ..I haven't figured out either
.. . . but could make it happen for production . . .in another life.
