Do you paint one color at a time? I notice, too, that there seems to be little diffusing on the edges, so I am wondering if you also thicken the dye? Or do you paint on dry yarn? I also assume you steam the painted yarns?
Hi Peg, I don't usually paint one color at a time altho I did do the black, here, at once. I don't thicken the dye, and I work on soaked and wrung out yarn. And then steam for 20 minutes. The colors do run together because of the wet dye on the wet yarn but I like it that way. Maybe sometime I'll try thickened dyes.

Lovely! I like the way you roll the warps in the wrap. Much better than the way I usually try to do it.
