This is the wool/dog hair scarf after dyeing. It took several tries to get the right system down. Next time I think I will try making the dye with less water. I knew there would be bleeding of the dye, but it was difficult to get the right syringe, with the right amount of pressure to expel the small amount of dye needed. I worked with a 60cc, 3cc, 10cc syringe. The winner was the 60cc which I thought would have been to big for the job, and too hard to control. I ended up dyeing both ends of the scarf solid for uniformity. The yarn fluffed up nicely during the dyeing process, and the scarf has a nice halo already softening the color blue.
