I shall definitely be trying this method soon, but living in North East England we're not generally blessed with Pennsylvania's glorious sunshine, so I might have to resort to a microwave to get it to work properly!Vikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619432278188465790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541488844616624304.post-33610955278748268262012-07-29T22:01:20.155-04:002012-07-29T22:01:20.155-04:00I've never tried to die wool.

I soaked my hank of Patons Classic Wool (100 gr/210 yards) in enough water to cover the yarn in my 9x13" baking dish, with a splash of white vinegar, for about 20 minutes. Followed the rest of the directions, then after I brought the yarn in I drained the leftover water, let it cool to room temperature, and gently rinsed it a couple of times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541488844616624304.post-55123622333907014192012-07-26T09:53:42.358-04:002012-07-26T09:53:42.358-04:00How large was the skein of yarn you dyed?
