The dyeing went smoothly - 3 main colours and then various shades and mixes to make up about 9 all told (blues, greens, purples, and pink/red). I painted the wound yarn in fairly random stripes and blocks and wrapped it in glad wrap and left it for 6 hours.
It washed out fairly easily - very little colour coming from the dyed yarn at all (just the full strength purple which had quite a bit of red bleeding out. I dried the yard with a hair dryer and was ready to weave the first stripe to see how the random colours would come out.

The pattern emerged nicely as I went and getting back into the rhythm won't take long.
