I don't like the idea of the plastic wrap touching the pan, afraid it will stick or something.

What is your flickr ID and I'll look it up that way?<BR/><BR/>Katie - Thanks for the advice. When I upgrade my dye equipment I might try to get some of the pans like you mentioned. This would allow for more skeins to heat at once. I have left the skeins in the pan and heated them like that, but I found that I was able to do more skeins at once by wrapping. <BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone for your words of appreciation. I very happy that you liked it.Julie Lynn Paper co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10276900067861431510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971179497102051070.post-4550549378909479182009-04-06T11:19:00.000-04:002009-04-06T11:19:00.000-04:00Lovely tutorial - thanks for posting it!I find it ...Lovely tutorial - thanks for posting it!I find it fascinating to see how others dye. (I do try to help out new dyers on Rav, too. Because dyeing is a great study in trial and error.)I don't think I would have ever thought to do dry "sprinkle" dyeing on blank yarn. That's probably because I mix liquid stock solutions so I don't have to fiddle with a respirator. While I've sprinkled dry dye onto already dyed fiber I've never done anything quite like this. <BR/><BR/>Have you ever heat set in a roasting pan on top of the stove? I have 4 enameled roasting pans (They look like yours in the photo only enameled.) And I kettle dye in those, with the roaster spanning both my front and back burners. I wonder how things would turn out if you could skip the wring and wrap stage. I might give it a try today, as i'm going to be in the studio.<BR/><BR/>Also, you can easily go up to 350 degrees in your oven for a short period of time without adversely affecting your wool. If you have heavy duty plastic wrap - I use Costco brand - you can even leave it at that temp without melting the plastic into the yarn and it helps set things faster.Katie, a dyer at Yarn Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840192016743908326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971179497102051070.post-54208548924524729342009-04-05T18:38:00.000-04:002009-04-05T18:38:00.000-04:00http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3360/3415439535_cb5...http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3360/3415439535_cb5e3ec176.jpg<BR/><BR/>this is what my green skeins turned out like.
