Dyeing a colour wheel is the same process as a double graduation, but instead of 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
working one way along a line of containers, you work along a section of the wheel, 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
or around the corner if you prefer. We will also be using the 'Fast Track' dye method 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
(see 'Different Dye Methods') or Method One.  Prepare your workspace by laying 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
down protective coverings and have all of your equipment handy. You will need 9 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
FQ's of fabric that you have already prepared 'Link to Fabric Preparation', as well as a 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
spare piece to protect the surface you are using and to catch loose dry dye. A 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
collection of jugs, jars, bottles or zip lock plastic bags to dye the fabric in. A container 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
with a lid and measures on the side to accurately measure the dye concentrate. Dye, 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
we are using Procion yellow MX8G, Procion red MX8B and Procion Turquoise MXG 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
for this exercise. (see 'Dye Chart'). Measuring spoons or a scale to measure out 3gms 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
of dye, (see 'Conversion Chart')
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
 A dust mask. A jug which contains 150 gms of soda ash and a jug of hot water. 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Prepare to measure your dye by wetting the spare piece of fabric and laying it flat 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
onto the surface you are using like a tablecloth. Use the piece from the exercise, 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
'Dyeing a Graduation', you'll end up with an interesting piece of fabric. Wear your 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
dust mask for this procedure and work in a well ventilated area. Using your scale and 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
the yellow or first colour, measure out 3gms of dye. If you don't have a scale, refer to 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
the 'Conversion Chart' and measure out the appropriate amount of dye. Place this 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
into the container that has a lid. Add a small amount of warm water. Put the lid on 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
tightly and give a shake. Your dye should dissolve easily. If it doesn't, you can add a 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
spoonful of urea to complete the dissolution or if the dye is in pellet form and not a 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
powder form, a tiny drop of detergent will dissolve the oil base that is holding the 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
dye in a pellet. Repeat this procedure with each of the colours that you plan on 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
using, using the other containers with lids.  Now that the dye is dissolved you can 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
remove your dust mask. 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Set out the dyeing containers into a triangle with equal numbers on each side. Place 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
your dye solutions at each point, to help remind you where you're at. Place a FQ into 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
each container and push down to the bottom.
