RE: Dying Yarn
You mentioned that you haven't washed any of the yarn you dyed yet. I just want to caution you to try that before you mix two colors and then wash the finished product. You might be surprised how much it can run. I have never tried this and don't know too much about dying wool. I worked for a company who dyed synthetics though and colorfastness was always an issue. I didn't check on the instructions link you posted but sometimes it's recommended to add vinegar or something else to change the pH of the solution to increase the durability of the color. Just thought I'd mention that so you don't end up with something that you can't wash :) I'd be curious to hear how it turns out - good luck!
