TIP:

• In absence of hot water, heat set dyed yarn in a microwave and oven safe container. For the microwave, heat for 1-2 minutes. For the oven, heat at 300F for 20 minutes. Allow it to cool completely before handing.
• Clean microwave and oven safe container with soap, water and chlorine bleach.
