I taught a dye class today.  In my dye classes I warn everyone that what we are doing is not repeatable but it's always fun and so far I haven't dyed a batch I didn't like (or couldn't overdye). Here is the yarn and fiber that I dyed as a demo.

The 3 skeins were in balls when I put them in the dyepot. The fiber was on top. I added 4 colors of dye and steamed the whole thing.

The other method is to apply the dye to the fiber with a little more control and then steam.

This batch is ready for the pot.
