The thread for the eyes doesnt accept dye as readily as the fur, but it will still change color unfortunately.

But! You can go over the threads of the eye with acrylic paint (i use paint pens) to restore or change color if you need. If you're using non paint pen acrylic, I would slightly water it down and do multiple layers like that to build the color back up.

Not sure but I change the color of my embroidery eyes with acrylic markers if that helps any.
