When you randomly pick food coloring colors and use a 20 sided die to pick the proportions, what types of yarn colorways can you create?  Let's go through the 9 colors that I dyed in last week's livestream. 

In each case, I started with 8 cups of water + 1 T white vinegar to maximize the amount of color breaking we can observe.  After dip dyeing the yarn, I added more acid as needed to help all of the colors bind.
