Ask A Dyer
Debcquilts – “I want to play with dye in squirt bottles to apply color to my
yarn. So, I’ve got the yarn spread out on plastic wrap and apply color. If I’m
using acid dyes, what are my options for heat setting this? If I follow
strictly the edict to not use food stuffs and dye stuffs together, does that
include the microwave? Or can I put this skein in a hot bath, given I’ve
introduced acid somewhere? I’m just asking about the heat source here. And, of
course, colorfastness in the process. If I’ve got a skein of orange on one side
and blue on the other with white in between, I don’t want mud if I put it in
its heat bath, but I do need to set the color?Thx!”
