Unfortunately, tie-dying fleece is not really an option. It's made of synthetic fibres, and they won't take on the dye. You can only dye natural materials such as cotton, wool, or silk.

I meant the fleece that already comes looking like it's tie-dyed http://tinyurl.com/5nxgut (Darn it--I can only find bolts of the stuff on commercial sites)

Hm. I wonder how much yardage would be needed to cover a smiley - mouse and what the shipping would be...

Not that I have any extra money right now.

Or an address to ship to, for that matter.

It's made from four IKEA fleece blankets - each colour has a different border, and the red one just happened to be quite decorative. I didn't cut it by hand smiley - winkeye
