Leave no dye left behind - even if it is just a tiny amount of dye! 
 In this video, we'll use some leftover colors to create a variegated pastel colorway.  I will also explore how I deal with tangled skeins of yarn and how I try to untangle these skeins.  

The dye came from the Wilton Color Right Color Performance Liquid Food Coloring System - https://amzn.to/2NJGm90 (Affiliate Link) 
The yarn: KnitPicks Swish DK - http://shrsl.com/16zba (Affiliate Link)
