Supplies: bare yarn, microwave-safe dish, 2 PAAS Classic Egg Decorating Kits, water, vinegar, cookie sheet, rubber gloves
Additional Supplies: measuring cups, bowl, microwave, sink, tablecloth, apron, towels.

BUT first, I wanted to knit a BLANK because I wanted to create a gradient yarn.
I wound the hank of yarn into a ball. With 10mm, 16" circular needles, I held short tails together to work the yarn from the inside&out. I worked the knitted cast-on to cast-on 100stitches. I carefully joined the work to knit in the round. KNIT 50 rounds. With 5yards yarn remaining, I used a simple bind-off, and secured the last loop&tail with a locking stitch marker. It was a rainy day, and this project took about 5 hours.

Let me repeat myself:

I gathered the supplies, and got started. The project took a couple hours, clean up was nothing more than washing a few dishes, and I had a good time.

Here are photos of the process:

I gathered supplies, and removed most of the hanging stitch markers. I presoaked the blank for 30 minutes in 2 cups water & 1/2 cup vinegar.

I gently squeezed out the water&vinegar, and I folded the blank vertically. Four layers of double stranded knitted blank fit in the cookie sheet. Remembering the color wheel or a rainbow, I started with the blue. I placed one tablet on the top left, and the matching tablet on the underside to the right. I added a 1/2cup of the water&vinegar solution. I let that sit for 10minutes. Then added the green tablets, with another 1/2cup water&vinegar. I let it sit 10 more minutes.

I mixed an additional 2cups water& 1/2vinegar. It was time to introduce the yellow, solution, 10minutes. Then added the orange, solution, and 10minutes.

I added both red & pink tablets and remaining solution. There was plenty of liquid, and I tipped the work toward the blue just to help with the green running/bleeding.
