To color cotton wool, you can use liquid dye or food coloring mixed with water. Simply soak the cotton wool in the colored solution until it reaches the desired shade, then remove it and let it dry on a paper towel. Alternatively, you can spray or dip the cotton wool in the dye for a quicker method. Always wear gloves to avoid staining your hands and work in a well-ventilated area.

Wool, to optimize, in winter, wear all 3 in layers, like so, cotton, wool, poly. And you're ready to Ski! Cotton will quickly absorb the moisture passing it along to the wool, wich has great performances even wet (75-80% insulation) and can dry quickly because of its density (loads of air), unfortunately they are generally quite fragile and uncomfortable, a layer of cotton is needed for high % wool, so a last layer of poly, wich doesn't do much else than a wind barrier, and some protection against branches and such. (Wich would be a nightmare with plain wool...)
