I mentioned that the dye had pooled a bit in my cling-film packets and so the wool was quite dark in places and quite light in places. More of a contrast than I'd expected. I'm not sure that I want a self-striping effect this time. A friend suggested putting it through the drum carder once more, and this is the much happier result.
