Let's have some fun by dyeing yarn random colors!  Today we will dip dye some KnitPicks bare yarn http://shrsl.com/1bada into MYSTERY SURPRISE mixtures of Americolor's Nifty Fifty Food Coloring Kit. https://amzn.to/2TQgKep (Affiliate Links) That's right FIFTY.  We will be randomly mixing from a choice of 50 premixed food coloring colors.  

In this stream, I plan to dip dye yarn into mystery combinations of liquid food coloring as follows:

1: I will roll a 6 sided die to determine how many colors we need to mix together.
2: I will use a random number generator to pick numbers 1-50 to determine the colors to mix together.
3: I will roll a 20 sided die to determine how many drops of each color to mix together.  

Then, we will dip dye presoaked yarn into the mixture to see how the colors break! All colors will be a surprise to even me. To preorder this yarn before the livestream begins, pick the yarn base you would like me to dye and which skein you would like.  https://www.etsy.com/listing/662798081/preorder-mystery-surprise-yarn-dyed-in-a Please see the listing for full details.

Dyepots: All pots started with 8 cups of water + 1 T white vinegar.  I'll mix the colors into 1/2 cup of water.  If I need more volume in the pot, I'll add some additional (premixed) water that was 8 cups of water + 1 T vinegar.  I'll add additional vinegar to the pots as needed.
