In the past, the way I've dyed my yarn or fiber is to handpaint it, wrap it up in plastic wrap, and steam set it in the microwave. It works well, and it's fast. But the downside is there is a lot of handling and fiddling with the fiber, which can lead to felting, or at the very least "fuzzing".
So, I did that method for the first 2 braids you see below, but for the 2 plum braids at the bottom I tried the oven "low immersion" method. I loved it! Consider me a new "oven" convert.

I foresee more dyeing adventures in the near future.
