How to Dye Yarn: Handpainting

Step 5Mix up the dye(s) and let rest for 1 hour

Mix up the dye(s) and let rest for 1 hour
This step should be done in an area that does not have a lot of moving air, because you don't want the dye to be blowing around.

The recipe I used was: 1/2 tsp dye to 3/8 cup of hot water, plus 1 tbsp vinegar. Start by adding a very small amount of the hot water to the dye to make a paste. Then add a bit more of the water to thin the paste, and then add the rest of the water and the vinegar.

Let the dye solution sit for an hour.

Depending on the dyes, I don't think you'd need to let it sit for an hour. I use Greener Shades Dyes and there is no need to allow the solution to wait.
