My dyeing class, for those who asked
Rock, I went to Black Sheep Knitting in Needham. I didn't know they have a full basement down there, so it was the perfect setup.
We learned to do the "painting" method, I guess? Pretty much mix dyes and pour onto the yarn, diluting if we wanted softer color, etc. I put WAY too much dye on one of my skeins, so it looks totally different from how I imagined it. But my other skein looks like a rainbow of deep colors. I now know that less is more.
There were a couple of random skeins left at the end, so I jumped in and tossed a bunch of leftover dye from the table onto it. Turned out to be my best one yet. The teacher said she'd steam it overnight and have it to pick up this afternoon 
The woman on one side of me is now dyeing yarn to sell, so she was pretty much an expert at the glazing technique. This technique was new for her.
It was a lot of fun seeing all the different color combos that showed up.
And bonus, I found a website last night with all the dyeing supplies if I want to play again

Re: My dyeing class, for those who asked
That was my favorite yarn shop discovery from the yarn crawl. I wish it were closer to me, but I'll have to make my way back there at some point. Trying to put a dent in my existing stash first though.
Glad you enjoyed the class!
