I never wash or rinse my overdyed threads. I'm of the
let's-keep-the-hands-compulsively-clean gang so that there is no need
to wash the finished project.
Ditto the no loop start. Unless. Sometimes you may want to do this for
effect. I did a tree and used the loop start for both the trunk and the
leaves. Looked more natural and eliminated any of the stripey effect.
Some designs you may want to fiddle with the thread so that it starts
the light or dark where you want it. I've had overdyeds that I've
basically elimated a shade that was "too" much one way or the other.
Don't be afraid to expirement. I've used overdyeds where none were
called for. Used DMC with overdyeds. Used DMC instead of overdyeds.
Enjoy learning!
