This dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.

I have a pattern which calls for lime green elk hair. My question is do any of you have a supplier who carries odd colored elk hair or suggestions for dyeing my own? (an area I've pretty much tried to avoid)
