Yellow Olive dyeing recipe

[stevekale]

Anyone care to share a "yellow olive" dyeing recipe using either Veniard or Jacquard dyes? (dyeing partridge and pheasant)

There is two good ways of mixing for it, I will send you a PM later.

Cheers Sam. I'll keep an eye out for it.

try turmeric with a touch of olive dye. It works a treat.

I should add that I have Jacquard Sun Yellow dye and Veniard's medium olive but was hoping to reduce the level of experimentation. I'm also trying to picture "yellow-olive" versus "golden olive"...

Yeh, I'm wondering that too. Ask 7 people and you'll probably get 7 G.Os so yellow olive is likely the same. Me, I'd say yellow olive is a pale straw with a hint of green. Might be worth a light dye bath of sun yellow and over dye with a light wash of grey? Look on the bright side, it's whatever you want it to be.
