Does the saran wrap keep your yarn and fabric dry? If so that would be a great method for me to try. The part I'm mostly concerned with is that I don't want any of the dye running when it's steamed. I'm accustom to wrapping my fabric around a sheet so that none of the fabric is overlapping itself.

I've been using Procion MX dyes for years at college. I'm trying to get a home studio set up since I no longer have access to the school's amazing studio. I do a lot of dye paintings, similar to silk paintings. I can't afford spend $1000 on a nice vertical steamer. I've heard of rolling up your work in and using pots on the stove, but I'm worried about it not working well. I tend to make fairly large paintings 3ft x 6ft.
Does anyone have experience or advice on what will or won't work?
