Lily Sugar'n'Cream is a super absorbent cotton yarn.  If we dip two ends of a 113 g skein into some room temperature Dylon Hand Dye, will the color wick through to the center?  Dylon is a great dye for cotton fibers and you don't need heat to get brilliant colors.  

See how the dyes were mixed in Dyepot Weekly #63 - https://youtu.be/26sdsk-IPWk
