I explored a couple of years ago - Microwave dyeing with mainly local yarns (except for some very old bubbly yarns - ? Paton's that I got locally). They range in 3-8 plys and I used Food colouring, coming from the primary with only a couple of secondary like green, brown and possible an orange.
I have hand knitted since I was 11, often following patterns but these scarves are my free form or freedom style. I have applied cast on and do what feels interesting and when I have used the whole ball of 25 -50 grams.
The next few show a close up of what I have knitted - like wrapping, garter stitch, bringing knitting through and over or picked up. 
This is a gather method that I tried and is more than the 50 grams in weight as I had been going to use as a warp but knitting happened.
Just a few made.
