Crock pot dyeing – step 5

 

Ok, now just put it on high and leave it there until the water boils.

Turn it off and let it cool down on the bowl. (I normally do it in the evening and let it cool down during the night.

If you put only enough dye, there will be no colour on the water.  The wool will absorve everything, you can throw away the water.  If you still have dye, you might take the wool out of the water (I flip it onto a surface that allows the water to go through) and mix a little bit of baking powder on the water to react with the acid of the dye.

Rinse twice or three times and if needed add some vinegar on the second rinse.
