Yarn dying in a crockpot
Dying yarn with icing dye
Three ways of dying varigated yarn I don't know why she's complaining that the final method leaves the yarn non-colorfast. It's a simple matter of steaming or ironing the yarn before rinsing.
Prepping yarn for reuse Mostly of interest because of the bit at the end, how to roll your own center-pull skeins without a skein winder. *eyes almost-gone toilet paper appraisingly*
I'm probably reinventing the wheel here, but over Malice I had my balled yarn shoved into the elastic-topped mesh water bottle holder of my tote. It was perfect - enough give for the ball to spin, enough constraint to keep the yarn from snarling, and the elastic at the top kept the ball from popping out. In future, if I'm just starting a project, I'll thread the yarn right through the mesh for an extra measure of guiding.

Building an "odd ball" of leftovers I'd rather splice than knot... now I just need to learn how to splice!
And Google will provide: Yarn splicing tutorial
Another splicing tutorial I had no idea how much saliva was involved.
Making your own circular needles Hmmmm.... although I'm betting that I could adapt the directions to "circularize" some dpns and skip the finishing of the wood...
