Madder Still

So now I've used up all of the rest of my madder root to dye 30 toning skeins in one dye bath. My conclusion is that the method is quite tough on the wool, and also that my implements, especially my dye pan, are too small to dye large batches of wool successfully. There is insufficient room to allow the individual skeins to float freely. I'll be returning to small batch dyeing (four skeins at a time) from now on.
