My first official knit soaker is in the cooling phase of being dyed. Ack! :eek I can't believe how nervous I am. I definitely see why people would want to dye BEFORE they spend hours turning it into a soaker. Eep!

Well, not that it'll do much good now, but wish me luck! :crud: :fingersx:

I did the same thing with my first soaker....Make sure you dye some test yarn before you plunge the whole thing into the dye!

It worked a-ok for me and I hope the same for you!

Congrats on dyeing your wool! What color(s) did you use?

OT: I saw you're in Indiana...I'm from Middlebury (way up north) :)

It's in the gallery; check it out! :)

It ended up a bit more blotchy/less spotty than I wanted it, but for a first try, and basically just doing it for fun, I thought it turned out pretty good.

I'm in Richmond, right on 70, about 5 minutes away from Ohio. It's a town of about 39,000 people, but coming from the SF Bay Area, dang this place is small! :LOL
