Anyway - I had some leftover dyes and armed with a You Tube Video of yarn dyeing I thought I would give it a go.
Here they are rinsing
Not too bad - there are some white gaps still but they will be added to the pile of things to use sometime.

Dyeing Threads
A couple of years ago I purchased a selection of yarns to try out for dyeing but of course it was a bit fiddly so I put them aside. I did, however, get as far as tying them in even hanks and labelling them with tyvek. Unfortunately I bought them from Rooby's Web of Thread which no longer exists so even if I liked them enough to do more I am probably unable to find them.

These threads look fantastic! I can't wait to see how you use them.
