Such a helpful guide! I’m so excited to dye yarn now!

Thank you so much!
Is anyone other than me having a hard time getting this blue to stop bleeding? I have rinsed and rinsed and still bleeding. I have even let it sit in rinse water over night and still bleeding. So I thought I must have done something wrong. I had the exact same yarn from the same supplier so I tried again. Still the same problem. I have now put all 4 skeins back in a pot with some citric acid. Hope this works.
Hello! I dyed my first box today after practicing yesterday with the triangle exercise. I wanted a deep, saturated blue, so made a 1% DOS solution with a mix of Jacquard Gunmetal, Turquoise & a bit of Jet black . I dyed 100 GM of SW Sport Merino yarn that was in my box & followed the instructions otherwise. The water was 99.9% clear at the end, but I’m worried - I have slight bleeding not sure if it’s enough to be concerned about. I did a rinse/wool wash/rinse.
I also threw a mini skein in what was left with some vinegar & got basically no color on the mini. Also no color transfer when I rolled the dark skeins in a towel before hanging to dry.
Oops! 200 GM!
So Rebecca mentioned that to get a more even color you should add the yarn to a cold dye bath w/o acid then heat it. At what point during the process should you add the acid? I'm looking to do a very even solid. Thanks to anyone who can answer!
I have a video that shows more variation to this technique: czcams.com/video/Ph-Zqcym_Ts/video.html I sometimes mix up exactly how I do it, but I would let the yarn soak in the cool dyebath for a while, and then add acid, and stir while still cold before heating it up, stirring occasionally.
