It is butt ugly (hee hee)!! Can I just redye it in a darker color, will that work??

You can redye it one of two ways.
1-You could overdye it, but the draw back of this is that the camo colors will effect the end result(probably end up black or dark brown)

2-Another possibilty would be to bleach it. Your PF won't come out white but it would probably be light enough so you could dye it without to much influence of the previous colors.
Just remember, if you bleach it, make sure it is rinsed super good afterwards, you don't want the bleach to ruin your project

There are other products on the market that remove color(names escape me, reduran maybe?) but if you just have a small task, bleach would probably do the trick.

Good Luck!

Thank you. I tried dyeing it again with a dark purple and it is slightly better than before. I think I may just end up giving dh this prefold to wash the car with!!!!! LOl!!

Just a tip, and maybe you figured this out already. When you are dyeing something and you want it a solid even color, you need to stir often. The less you stir the more mottled and variegated it will be. So you really should stir quite a bit!

Good luck!
