550 yards of Licorice Stick yarn, which has a fiber wrapped or spun in a spiral around the main wool fiber. This spiraling fiber uptakes the dye in a darker hue, and adds much interest to the overall appeal of the yarn. Although, the uptake wasn't as obvious on the orange areas. Live and learn. Next time I will be more attentive to the areas where the colors join. My instructor is the owner of my LYS, and she warned me 4-5 times about this area, but I was too cautious and, as you can see my yarn has anemic or halo areas. I hung the yarn, using 2 plastic clothes hangers, on the fan. I left the fan running through the night, and in the morning the yarn was dry.
