After I filmed the Kickstarter Thank You Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urJ0IOMRtpc), I wanted to take advantage of the leftover dye in the pot and see if I could get it to clear.  Let's dye 100 g of Wool of the Andes yarn (100% wool) http://shrsl.com/k9c0  (KnitPicks Affiliate Link) and see what we can get!
