Oh goodness, a bit of a delay. I've been lazy about uploading the pictures from my camera. The last part of the dyeing process is fairly simple anyway.
SO! The last few steps are as follows:
Step 1:
Unwrap your baby roving from it's towels and newspaper.
Step 2:
Fil your sink up with soapy water once again like you did when you went to soak your roving initially, same soap and same temperature is all fine.
Step 3:
Unwrap your roving. If you dye like me, it could be a tad messy. The roving should easily fall from the Saran Wrap. Dunk your roving into the sink and toss away the Saran Wrap.
Step 4:
Let soak for just a couple of minutes
Step 5:
Rinse out each individual strand of roving and hang it up to dry on a coathanger (or something similar is fine too) in the shower, or just someplace where it can drip dry and be left undisturbed.
Step 6:
After it's all dry, you're ready to spin! Congrats! =)
Note: For some reason Blogger isn't letting me upload images, so I'll upload the images of my finished roving once Blogger decides it likes me again.

Thanks for the tutorial! I just got my first set of acid dyes, and I thought I remembered that you can use a microwave to set the dye. Google brought me here. I'm off to dye my roving now--and hopefully reduce the amount I spend on handdyed roving from Etsy! ;)
