Here are the images of the centre-pull ball dyeing I did in the same indigo vat.I already had some centre-pull balls wound tightly and only had to "wet them out". I then put a rod (long paint brush) through the centre and allowed the ball to just sit in the vat.
After about 5 minutes I flipped the ball over and let the other side sit in the vat, as you can see in the image on the left.
Here you can see the distinct areas of colour.Below is the hank hanging on the line after washing and rinsing.

I like the centre pull ball effect.
Thanks Helen.
I've made them into warps and woven them, one with the same yarn and one warped with an indigo dyed boucle and woven with the boucle.
I will get round to taking a photograph of them and post them to the blog!
