    Considering the maker I would assume that it is wool. Synthetic material may not be dye-able or the results would be unsatisfactory. My suggestion would be to check with a couple of local dry cleaner (or the UK equivalent ?) and ask if they dye wool and the cost. They should have experience and the results could be nicer.

    Now ever if it is 100% wool it can be over dyed.

    If you see abbreviations, initials or acronyms you do not know the Xmarks FAQ section on abbreviations may help.
