Soak to be dyed fabric, yarn or wool in cold water for at least 20 minutes. Wring out excess water. Fill a large metal pot with water and add dye. Make sure all the dye is dissolved before adding fiber or yarn. Distribute evenly. Add about ¼ cup of vinegar. Heat to 180 F for ½ hour. Vigorous stirring will cause your woolen fiber or yarn to felt, so this is to be avoided. Remove from dye bath and cool to touch. Rinse in water and soap of the same temperature until final rinse water is clear. Sudden temperature changes of the rinse water will result in felting.
