Jelly dyeing

by Inge on Aug.16, 2010, under Spinning

I spun the wool first and then dyed the skeins with jelly in the microwave. I soaked the skeins in warm soapy water for while. Then I mixed 1 tablespoon salt, half a cup vinegar and the jelly which I dissolved in a cup of hot water. I added 3 skeins of 20g each to a dish with the jelly mix and microwaved on High for 3 minutes, took the dish out, rested it for a few seconds, microwaved it again for 3 minutes. I left the dish to cool down totally and then rinsed the wool. Sequence of jellies: 1 Raspberry, 2 Strawberry, 3. Lemon, 4. Orange, 5 Pineapple,
