Untwist the hank into a circle. To avoid tangling, use scrap yarn to secure four loose ties around the untwisted hank. Presoak yarn in hot water with 2 tablespoons of vinegar for wool yarn OR 2 tablespoons of salt for cotton yarn for 30 minutes. Gently wring out excess water. Wearing gloves, add 2 teaspoons of powder dye to jar or follow desired Color Formula. Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar for wool yarn OR 1 teaspoon of salt for cotton yarn to the jar Fill jar with 3-4 cups of very hot water, just below boiling around 200°F. If tap water is not hot enough, heat water on the kettle and add to the dyebath. Mix thoroughly until powder dye and salt dissolve. Repeat to create desired colors. Dip half the untwisted yarn hank into the dyebath. To create a gradient, slowly move the yarn up and down into the dyebath to create varying saturation levels. Rinse dyed area in cold water until water runs clear. Gently wring out excess water. Repeat to dye the other half of the hank in another color, overlap slightly with the existing color to create a seamless ombre. Allow yarn to sit and absorb dye for 30 minutes. Wearing gloves, rinse yarn in cold water until water runs clear. Gently wring out excess water. Wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Hang to dry. TIP: In absence of hot water, heat set dyed yarn in a microwave and oven safe container. For the microwave, heat for 1-2 minutes. For the oven, heat at 300F for 20 minutes. Allow it to cool completely before handing. Clean microwave and oven safe container with soap, water and chlorine bleach.
