Mmm...wet dog smell

Well tonight I decided to dye my yarn. I had all the supplies already, though now I have to buy a new stew pot, since I don't think you're supposed to reuse it after acid dye have been in it. I used Deka Batik & Textile Dye. I found it at a local art supply store. I followed various online tutorials (here, here, and here), but there are lots of other tutorials online. The package also had specific directions. This was 225g of wool. I used about 4 litres of water and the whole package of dye.

Here are a few pictures:





I imagine it will take a few days to dry. I put a plastic bag under the towel to protect my hardwood floor. Unfortunately I live in a bachelor apartment so I get to smell wet wool while I sleep.
