  • can you also use this method with acid dyes?

  • @louvrechic Absolutely!

  • will this dye bleed when washed once it has been spun and made into a garment?

  • @Jenniguin Not if you cook it until the water is clear and you rinse it thoroughly!

  • How long does it take to cool down?

  • It depends on your microwave. Usually an hour or two for me. Your comment about dyeing with cushings accidentally got deleted (sorry!) but I wanted to let you know that you CAN dye with cushings in the microwave, but I dye MUCH bigger batches, on the stovetop.

  • I've tried. It doesn't work very well because you have to card it and you just end up with a really lumpy yucky yarn.

  • i have a question can cotton balls be used to spin yarn.. is cotton right?

  • I received some raw wool that needs to be washed in order to even start the dying process. How do you go about washing fresh wool right off the sheep?

  • Do you use for microwave for cushings dye? I agree a video on the stove would be wonderful.

  • Can you do a video showing on the stove top? That would be so cool and a great gift to your viewers.
