I have some freshly washed and dried Cheviot fleece. Will let you know how I get on.

Do you know of any way or place to get easter egg dye out of season? I really want to try it, but its July, so I'll have to wait a long time to get my hands on it in local stores.<br>Thanks!

Thanks for the video! madonnaearth (ravelry)<br><br>I am now no longer worried about dyeing on top of the stove. I am going to be acid dyeing some roving and some loop yarn I have been giving, plus matching some laceweight merino. I will probably microwave some and stoptop dye the rest. Thank you.
