A: It's because you're not listening to the Sock Dyeing Manual of Conduct. Have you read it?
Maybe you should.
A: No. That's like asking if you can make a soufflé in the washing machine. Don't be ridiculous.
Use the Sock Dyeing Oven. It's in the basement. Next to the Sock Folding Machine.
A: If you're using the Sock Dyeing Machine, it's possible. But only if you've set it to "Super-Sock-Squishy" mode.
Which you should never do. Ever.
Unless you're going for a fashion statement.
Which you probably are.
A: No. That's a myth perpetuated by Sock Dyeing Enthusiasts for the Lulz.
Use real dye. The kind with the warning labels and stuff.
A: Ha! Sock Dyeing is a hobby, not a business. You're on your own.
A: Only if you've completed the Sock Dyeing Masterclass, which you probably haven't.
But hey, it's not that hard. Just Google it.
