We microwaved the jar for 3 minutes, let it cool for 3 minutes and repeated the process several times.
The green color is Lemon-Lime, the blue is Blue Berry Twist. Below, the lighter pinkish color is pink lemonade and strawberry. The darker red is a mixture of black cherry and cherry.
Repeat the microwave process until the water runs clear and all of the dye is absorbed. After the first two repeats in the microwave, I added saran wrap over the top of the jar to speed up the process. At this point, I also shook the jar a little bit to make sure the dye was soaking into the middle of the skein.
I think it's cute, my littlest one was curious about the jars on the table. He peeked out from the curtain until I told him it was ok to come look at the jars. :-)
And here are our solid color skeins of dyed yarn:
And ALL of our dyed yarn wound into center-pull balls ready to use:
