Last Steps - a Review and Finishing
After your fibers have "cooked" for 3 hours, let them cool so you can handle
them:
Here's what they look like when they're "done":
Rinsing
In water the same temperature as the wool, rinse the dyed fibers until the water
runs clear.
Being careful not to wring or agitate the fiber, squeeze as much water as
possible from it.
Drying
If you have a separate spin cycle on your washer, this will get lots of water
from your fiber.
Be sure you watch, though, to make sure the washer doesn't start filling again
and
agitating! You'll get a wonderfully colored felt rope, for sure.
Hang the damp rovings to air dry - aren't they pretty?
