You can dye yarn using several different methods.  For wool, alpaca, angora, nylon, and other natural protein fiber yarns (not cotton) you can use what is called acid dye.  The acid dye can be anything from comercially purchased dye (I use Jacquard acid dyes) to Kool-Aid (Kool-Aid really works!  Very well!).  \n\nThe "acid" part of the name comes from the fact that you need to use an acid to "set" the dye into the yarn so it doesn't wash out.  You can use a chemical mordant as your acid, or something safer like vinegar or citric acid to set your dyes.\n\nThere are several different methods of dyeing the yarn but here's how I do it.  First, soak the yarn in some hot water for about 30 minutes.  This will help the yarn take the dye.\n\nMix your dyes in small containers according to the instructions that came with your dye.  Generally you add a small amount of dye, water, and a couple tablespoons of vinegar.  Next, lay your yarn out on some plastic wrap, and pour small amounts of of your dye onto the yarn.  This is called handpainting the yarn.\n\nWhen you are done, roll the yarn up in the plastic wrap and microwave it on high.  Check it every few minutes, watching for the colour of the water on the yarn to turn clear.  This means the dye has exhausted and will not rinse out of your yarn when you wash it.  Rinse your yarn and hang it up to dry.  You've dyed yarn!\n\nThere are many other methods of dyeing yarn like crockpot dyeing, rainbow dyeing.  Try Googling how to dye yarn if you need more information.

If you have the education to spell a word like pseudoscience, you should be able to fugure out the answer to that one yourself.  My theory is that string is used best when flying a kite.  Maybe you should go fly one too.

If you know how to knit and purl, you're on your way to doing fancy stuff.  All it is, is a varriation on the knit and purl stitch.\n\nhttp://www.knitty.com has some pretty nice stuff.  Also, public libraries usually have a pretty decent selection of knitting books

I don't know, but last heard about the Bermuda Triangle is there are vents on the bottom of the ocean, which somehow decreases a ships buoyancy, therefore sinking the ship so my best guess is that the people that were on the ship will dye stranded out in the middle of the ocean. So why would they need food? If they do somehow make it to a island, they will evidently die

The strands. You know how they twist the strings around each other. Well, if they use 2 strands, of course that's 2 stranded string. If it's 3 strands well... you get the point.

When my grandma died - we lived in England at the time, rest of family in Illinois.  The day she died, it snowed in England.  The whole country pretty much shut down cuz they didn't relaly have any snow removing equipment.  It was really sad.

I was wondering what any of you out there thought happens when you die? happens that ur body becomes food for the worms and something rich for the soil but i can rember what it was, but plant a mango tree in a cementary and u will have the best mangos and god is just a imaginary friend for the adults.

This is the part of the wikipedia that I understood.  I can explain it to you if you want to send me a message.  I think it makes alot of sense.\nNow let’s see what happens to our accelerating particles when a torque is applied to the spinning wheel. Assume the axis of rotation created by the torque is through the center of the wheel at 90 degrees to the primary rotation of the wheel. Let’s look at a particle that is on this axis of rotation. Since the particle is on the axis of rotation there is no direct motion applied to the particle at the instant of the applied torque. But let’s look at what will need to happen at the next moment in time. The particle is now going to be forced to curve again. This time in the direction of the curve so as to accommodate the tilt of the wheel. Now we have a particle that is already moving and it wants to keep moving in a straight line. So the particle will exert a force on the wheel. If you look at a particle on the other side of the wheel you will see that the force of the second particle is in the opposite direction of the first particle. That pair of unmatched forced is what causes the precession torque that is 90 degrees to the applied torque

It sounds like one of two things, either the line isn't tightly secured to the spool and it's all just spinning around the spool or the drag is set so lightly that the spool is just spinning around.\n\nEither set your drag correctly or re-spool your line. \n\n(If you got the reel used, this would be a good time to buy some new line and spool it up instead of re-spooling the old line.)\n\nSee links below for info on setting up your reel, including such topics as knots, line, and drag.

From the history of nylon we’ll find that inventing nylon was only half the problem; the other half was what to call this new fibre. \n\nIn 1940 John W. Eckelberry of Du Pont said that the letters "nyl" were chosen by chance and the "on" was copied from the names of other fibres such as cotton and rayon. \n\nIn 1978 Du Pont explained that the name was originally intended to be "No-Run" ("run" in this context meaning "unravel"), but was then modified to Nylon to make it sound better. A good explanation, except that the fabric actually did run!\n\nAn odd explanation says that the name came from the conflation of New York (NY) and London (Lon), the two cities the product was launched in. Though that's neat etymology, it doesn't fit the facts. Nylon stockings were introduced at the New York World's Fair, but London did not play any part in nylon's history. \n\nThere are about 400 explanations. Each worse than the others. Why does Du Pont try so much to make these poor explanations for the name Nylon? The suspicious point is all the explanations were announced (except the first one) more than 30 years after Nylon hit the market! \n\nClaim:   Nylon was named for a conflation of 'New York' and 'London.' \nStatus:   False. \n\nOrigins:   Nylon (polyhexamethyleneadipamide) was invented in 1935 by an organic chemist under contract to Du Pont. Wallace Carothers spent seven years on this project before achieving success. He discovered when liquid  polymers were blown through ultrathin nozzles they quickly solidified in resilient fibers thinner than human hair. \n\nInventing it was only half the problem; what to call it was the other half. Carothers referred to his brainchild as Fiber 66, but as its inventor it's not surprising he didn't appreciate the need for name more attractive to consumers. Sexier was better, said Du Pont. Its naming committee considered 400 names, one of them Duparooh (short for Du Pont Pulls A Rabbit Out Of Hat). Another was No Run. A good name, except the fabric did run. The committee tinkered with No Run until it became Nylon. (Some like to view "nylon" as a modification of "no run" spelled backwards.) Du Pont did not announce the new fiber until 1938.\nAn odd bit of lore asserts that the name came from the conflation of New York (NY) and London (Lon), the two cities the product was launched in. Though that's neat pop etymology, it doesn't fit the facts. Nylon stockings hit the market in 1939, after being introduced at the New York World's Fair. London did not play any part in nylon's history. \n\nEqually spurious is the claim the fibre was named for an acronym formed from "Now You've Lost, Old Nippon," supposedly a thumbing of the nose at Japan over its presumed loss of a market for its silk.

This question has very little available on the Internet about it. This is the closest thing I could find: \n\nTends machine that forms (twists) rope-fiber yarn into strands preparatory to being laid into rope: Installs specified size tubes that gather and compress yarn preparatory to twisting.

There are a couple of different fibers being used.\n\nKevlar by DuPont, Spectra by Honeywell, Aramid by Aramid and various combinations of the fibers woven together to form hybrid weaves.

My great great great great great great grandfather invented the knitting machine!\n\nIt's true, William Lee was his name...\n\nMy lame claim to fame, anyway...!

I prefer spinning--the reel with a bail.  There are also bait casting or level wind and spin casting reels(Zebco 33 is a good example).\n\nIf you have never fished before, you might want to start out with a spin cast reel.  The are the least likely to give you problems.

I was willing to give this a reasonable chance until I read this:\n\nOne early morning in '99 Range was returing from Henderson when a low-flying craft dropped a trail right overhead along Boulder Highway. "It covered my car with a sticky web-like coating and I saved a specimen in a jar. Microscopic fiber-like filaments," Range reports\n\nWhat was the outcome of the analysis of this specimen?  If this happened in 1999 don't you think she would've taken it in for analysis by now?  \n\nAnd what does being over 25 have to do with anything?  Are all people over 25 blind or something?\n\nI live in NJ so I can't say that its completely untrue but, I find it hard to believe that so few people have come forward.  A lot of people live in Vegas, I would've expected more people to have said somethin by now and I would expect this to be national news if it were true.  People aren't as complacent as you think they are, when it has to do with their long term health and the health of their children, people are usually very vigilant.

I doubt it will go bad.  Yes you just use sewing thread and a needle.  You can also mix it up with some cranberries for some color too.  I used to do this as a child and was thinking of doing it again this year.

Do a search on 'binding off" or 'casting off' to see some examples.  You may have to have someone show you, since it is difficult to show in a still photo.  You knit two stitches onto the second needle and then loop the outside stitch over the next one and off the top of the needle.  Then knit another stitch and do it again.  When you reach the end cut the yarn and pull it through the last stitch.\nIt is easy to knit too tight while doing this, so be careful.
