In my 10th anniversary special (   • Anniversary Special Vlog: My First At...  ), I scoured, carded and spun dirty fleece into yarn. The yarn I dye in this video comes from the 10th anniversary special. I decided to speckle dye powder on this yarn and steam set it.

Fibre reactive dyes can be used on plant based fibre and animal based fibres. Acid dyes can only be used on animal based fibres.

I have a monthly yarn subscription that can be purchased through my Patreon:   / fromthecauldron   Each month you'll receive 100g of yarn in your chosen weight dyed in a mystery colourway and some goodies made by other small businesses. Another perk for Patreons is they get early access to the video where I dye that month's yarn and they get to vote for next month's theme and exclusive behind the scenes videos.
