dip dye and Fiebing's - real disaster.

If I may put some answers

1. use the wool side

2. A piece about the size of the palm of your hand or slightly smaller for most work. A piece about two fingers width for doing small areas and edges. Gather it up into a ball with the flesh side inside. Gather it up tight.

3. You can re-use it with the same colour within 24 hours or less. I find that  when the dye fully dries the wool goes hard and is of no further use ~ I've never tried to wash the dye out ~ I just treat the wool pad as disposable

4. the only 'prep' I've done is to run my fingers through the wool to get off any loose hairs and debris. The wool should be about 1/2 inch long. Most comes this length anyways

Thanks!

The only thing I do different is to wring the dye out of the wool when I am done and I do reuse the wool.
