colour surprise part two

fibre funSo how do I get the colour onto the fibre in the first place?? here's a quick photo guide, the fibre is wonderful organic merino ( which I must stock up on at Wonderwool) and I'm using acid dyes. All apparatus is kept for DYE use only and it is recommended to wear a mask when the dyes are in powder form. Gloves should be worn although I have been known to go to the day job with purple/blue nails.
