Just finished--a 2ply yarn from Easter egg dyed rovings
I soaked wool roving in a vinegar solution, squeezed out most of the water, then draped 2 continuous sections, about 3 yds total, into plastic cups of leftover dye, and left them overnight. In the morning there were still some undyed sections between the cups (I had thought there would be more bleeding), so I shifted the rovings and left them for the day. The results were good, so I spun a singles yarn, about 16 wpi. Since there was no purple in this colorway, I decided to ply the singles with a raw silk that color and am happy with the result. About 200 yds.
