Jazzturtle posted a great tutorial on dyeing fleece in mason jars using the summer heat, so I decided to give it a try. It worked out very well, and it was nice to be able to dye such a variety of colors all at once. After all, our poor air conditioner already has to work so hard this time of year without having to combat the oven heat from the kitchen in addition to the sun. The only frustrating part of this process was waiting for my watched-pots to boil.

Here are my jars, ready to have the boiling water poured in:

And finally, a rainbow of Rambouillet drying in the tub:
