    Don't forget that wool and wool blend hose in white or off-white will take RIT dyes very well. The dyes come in loads of colors and you can adjust the dye intensity to match any shade you wish. Start with a "thin" solution (less concentrated than the box recommends) and leave the item in the bath for less time than recommended. Rinse and dry. If the color is not deep enough, add more dye and/or leave it in the bath longer. It may take several tries but you'll eventually "sneak up" on the right color. You can also mix dye colors to create just the right solution. Dye a white polo or tee shirt in the same bath and you've got an instant matching set.

    Now that is an excellent idea! Takes all the guesswork out of matching similar, but not exact, color shirts and hose.
