so I got this awesome hat for free the other day. Im not super hot on the color though, as well as it has some mild staining (like no one would ever really notice probably...)
its a dark tan/light brown and its felt.

I want to dye it.

but I dont want to totally fuck it up!!! I was planning on doing it in black (with rit) but after looking at this Im tempted to do it in a greenish color (it would still be brownish...)

so has anyone dyed felt stuff before?

as well as I have some felted stuff (like knit) that I want to dye. same process?

(I just realized that this is totally unclear- I am concerned with *how* to dye it. hot water okay? stove top? can I rinse it out? or will getting it wet totally just kill it?)
