But it works quite well...!

Great idea.....for people safer in the kitchen than I am! Really, I'm not a bad cook, but I've been the impetus behind fires on my stove and in my microwave. (I'm not saying I caused them.....I blame the appliances or the food involved!) Even though I think it wouldn't be technically possible for low heat to ignite yarn, I can just picture the look on my long-suffering husband's face if he came to the kitchen and saw yarn in the oven!! I'm a wimpy dyer.....but these colors are inspiring! Yarn in the oven! Great idea…..for people safer in the kitchen than I am!

You're right about complementary colors. I just used some gold to "tone down" a violet that was too saturated. It didn't take very much at all to have a perceptible effect.
