Very nice article on making your own
tyvek tarps.
It can be dyed after you wash it. There is someone on fleaBay who was making tyvek tarps and dying it. The effect was very cool, with the green it was a sorta-kinda camo that looked like it would blend in nicely, while the yellow was almost painful to look at.
Not having found a source for it locally, I have no first hand.
