it is possible to dye wool different colors.
As concerns this whole paragraph - dyeing is definitely on my list of things I want to try at some point! I would want to do plant dyeing in particular, which is a scary thing to contemplate bc of the numerous ways I could mess up lol. Besides that, my situation atm isn't one I can experiment with that stuff yet, though I hope that will change soon.

Yey! that is the BEST bit of this hobby and you can start right away, as soon as you have a tunic and pants you can wrap a snack and a water bottle up in one of these: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=4187 and hit the trail for a morning or an afternoon, don't wait until you have assembled a complicated kit to have fun
I already go on walks in just some brown trousers and a modern green button-up shirt lmao, I'm not waiting for the eternity it'll likely take me to assemble a full kit that I'm happy with. Thats a super cool roll thing you linked tho, I'll have to try it :D

There may be an Australian supplier for that wool soon, if I hear more I will keep you updated.
PLEASE DO that would be a literal godsend.

I try not to do shameless plugs but you really want to go over and have a look at our group as we specialise in travel of the early middle ages. We hike and camp in all weathers using only period equipment, we climbed Mount Kosciuszko last year through knee deep snow in full kit, we sleep our in sub zero, just this weekend gone we canoed down the shoalhaven and camped overnight in the shadow of the great sandstone cliffs (there were so many Argonath references)
Goddamn it why didn't I decide to move to Sydney area when I had the chance :((

Rohan is best??? Nahhh, you got that all wrong, Dwarves are best! Totally the best and without question! Adventure, fighting dragons, axes, mattocks, mining, prospecting, and not forgetting gold! just think of all that treasure you be missing out on...
Ah, but in this day and ago I'd have to buy my own gold alas.

But all in all, Dwarves are the best. Humans are taller because the material isn't as good so they had to be made bigger to compensate
First of all, bolder to assume I'm taller than a dwarf...
