The directions said that I needed to wet the article before dyeing it so I just got it wet to how high I wanted it to start.

I started by dunking the articles in to how high I wanted them dyed. And holding there for 2 mins. Then I pulled them out a few inches. Then every 4 or 5 mins I'd pull it out a few more inches.

I actually pulled them out slowly at the end of every song. This just was easier then using a timer. Tehehehe. Also make sure you switch holding arm too. Your arms get tired pretty fast.

Then when the dye bath is done wearing gloves rinse them out in cold until the waters clear. Then hang to dry.
