Good question. Trying to remember if I've dyed picked fleece - don't think so, at least not recently. Picking would open the fleece for to allow dye to penetrate, BUT soaking and then the heating usually gets the dye all through the wool unless you don't stir. Thinking it would be fun to pick and then "pot dye smooshed wool" with rainbow colors to see what would happen - you've given me an idea. ;-) Thanks. Have to try it soon as I have time. different effect than dying and picking.

Is it better to dye washed fleece then pick or pick washed fleece then dye?
