Dyeing Sock Yarns - KDTV 111

[jrberry63]

Christmas present... well, I use stock pots on the stove to steam my yarn (works perfectly fine for non-superwash, as long as the temp is brought up very gradually and doesn't go over the felting temperature which I can't remember off hand). To me, it always feels like birthing something, and the saran wrap is the placenta.

Boy that brings back memories of microwave

mania. Forget that little burnt plastic smell - that

goes away in six months and leaves a beautiful pink toxic residue. Good stuff!

Would love to have seen more working with the dye/wool than watching a plastic bag being ripped open. Colors seemed to blend too much. I couln't see the patterning.

no one ever mentions this would only work with superwash wool. Non superwash wool will felt if you microwaved it like that with no water!
