Yarn dyeing

First, you will need to prepare your yarn for dyeing. The yarn I used here is Cascade 220 Wool in white (8505) and cream (8010), and Knit Picks Superwash Wool/Nylon Fingering Weight. You may want to rewind your yarn into larger skeins, but I used my yarn as it came and it worked just fine. Using your waste yarn (I used Caron Simply soft in white) secure your skeins in at least 6 places using a figure-8 style tie. This is a very important step to make sure you don't end up with a tangled mess of yarn at the end of this process. If you’ve wound your yarn into even larger skeins, place ties about every 12 inches. Because my skeins had so much girth to them I did a figure-8 style tie around three sections of yarn.First, you will need to prepare your yarn for dyeing.
