Hi Everyone!
I followed Woolie's instructions on trying to decrease the difference between 2 different dye lots of the same color way using intentional bleeding of colors. Thanks Woolie! Everything went smoothly. The merino didn't shrink at all! It was a little scary boiling it, and it looked pretty bad coming out of the pot, but it dried up nicely. No felting at all.
I'm not sure how I'll proceed. I think I'll put the finished garment through the same treatment, maybe with a little less soaking or boiling time. If you'd like to see the process, I posted a blog about it here:
