I love dyeing with the dye tablets from Easter Egg Dyeing kits. Since the tablets are dry, it is really easy to insert them into a pre-wound cake of yarn before you submerge it into a warm dyebath. This will result in a stunning asymmetric colorway. In the following video, I use all 9 colors from a PAAS Deluxe Easter Egg Dyeing Kit in 100g of KnitPicks Bare Stroll fingering weight yarn (a wool/nylon blend.)

[24:05] The final yarn and conclusions
If I were to do this dyeing experiment again, I would increase the amount of vinegar in the pot (maybe 5-6T) and I would let the yarn remain in the pot longer to cool. It can take a while for these dye tablets to dissolve so I want to give them a chance to get there!
Sorry about the clicking sounds. My kids broke the normal lens that I use so I had to use my 50mm fixed lens and the autofocus is SUPER loud.
