I love how these turned out

Yummy. Love the video.

The varying tones of the thrice-dipped twisted skein are incredible! The zip-tie and single-dipped twisted skein are also fantastic in different ways. The contrast of the medium toned blue with abrupt white patches is striking, and the twisted skein looks like clouds on a bright blue sky. It could just be that muted blues are what I most gravitate towards, but I think all three really are a wonderful success. Very looking forward to the other indigo videos!

Beautiful!!

I love this so much! Are you going to have this in your etsy store? 😍💙

Loving this, thanks so much.

Can’t wait to see what the shirts look like - the yarn is beautiful.

Yay! Watching from Australia and looking forward to the further adventures of Indigo Becca!

What is glazing??

I once knitted indigo-dyed cotton yarn and had blue fingers. Blue wood is almost as bad. Better to use batik dye then. I would never dye wool like that. Nevertheless, the magic when the yarn or fabric develops in the air is really impressive. Unfortunately, you weren't able to capture it.

Pretty!

Pretty collection!

Yay! Did you pick an indigo-ish shirt for the narration on purpose? ❤ Can’t wait to see the rest of the series on indigo dyeing!!!

The result is very similar to the colors in malabrigo rios “primavera” colorway. (Not color placement, but the final hues)

Really interesting technique video. Thanks

I think the green was pretty! Any way to keep it green? Or a green and blue color? 🤔🧶

Would the dyed yarn get more oxygen if you use a fan?🤔🧶

Hi! what is the best material to keep dye stock? is it gall jars or plastic conteiner/bottles? Thank you!

Can you glaze with indigo? If you just dip but not squeeze what effect does that give?

The second skein of yarn was 75% cotton, 25% acrylic and that probably plays a part in the indigo not being as dark. I know that indigo is a deposit dye, but I don't think it works on synthetic fibers any better then fiber reactive or acid dyes do. A very interesting video looking forward to the others! Edit: hahahaha I hit enter then Rebecca went "Oh! fiber content!" and I burst out laughing.

I’m definitely not a chemist and have no chemistry experience and this is SO fascinating to me!! A longer video wouldn’t have hurt my feelings!! This is SO interesting to me.

Such a fascinating process!

what a coincidence! I just ordered some indigo powder so I could play with dyeing with it. actually looking forward to trying different techniques with it myself

Thanks for the video. It would be fun to see what happens over various lengths of soaking in the dye vat. Again thank you for this series. I'm currently growing Japanese Indigo in my garden.

In spite of a blue hand, this was truly interesting. I love all the various shades of blue you're getting. I look forward to the next visit. Thank you.

I really loved the second skein. It is so seldom to see variegations like this with indigo.

You might want to try Michael Garcia'a 1,2,3 vat. It works great on wool. Also, try dipping your skeins in oxygenated water right after the dye vat.

Thank you so much. ❤

Loved the episode! Two questions: does indigo work on all fibre types, and does the blue liquid squeezed out of the dyed skein still have the ability to dye something else a pastel colour?

Ich kenne das so, dass das Indigo erst sich beim Trocknen in der Sonne sich ins "Blai" färbt

I have always been fascinated by this alchemy. Thanks so much for taking us on this journey with you!

New title: Setting Up an Indigo Vat for Dyeing Yarn; Turning Myself into a Smurf. 😆

Right from the top, I really appreciated your super accessible (and scientifically correct) explanation of basic Indigo chemistry. So many other CZcams "teachers" get it wrong.

i am sure you know this the reason your hand does not go blue when the indigo is blue, as opposed to dyeing your hand when its green, is that the indigo molecule is smaller when it is missing the oxygen so it can get into places. how people who didnt have chemistry found out these things boggles the mind (stuff like this lead us to having science and chemistry)

I remember your 2018 indigo adventures, which I found absolutely fascinating. So I'm delighted that you're revisiting this technique. Then and now, as I watch these complex and messy procedures, I'm filled with gratitude that you are doing this and sharing it with us.

Sounds interesting 🤔

I would absolutely love a "time in the vat" comparison!

Can you do this with a wool acrylic blend?

It is very fun to see it turn from green to blue. Thanks for showing your mistakes. I think that's encouraging to people who are trying to learn, that even you turn your hands blue now and then!

is love to see more about this

If people don’t want to experiment with indigo vat dyeing. Rit dye tie dyeing kit/Indigo Shibori is a great alternative

Beautiful ❣️ I just watched an 8 year old video of yours where you broke WV on wool roving. Decided to try it. It came out soooo beautiful! I'm going to sell it and call it Rebecca 😁 I've learned a lot about how to dye from you. You're awesome!

Moody was the word that came to mind when seeing the glazed yarn.

The glazed yellow is what makes those skeins so amazing!!!

A VERY GOOD STUDY CASE.

Thank you for this video 😊from single dad with dauther

Glaze with some Green? (with blues) Does green strike fast? My brain can't "brain" today. Also, what about doing an experiment with NSW to actually see if it glazes? Im curious as most of my spinning is NSW.

Hi, my spoonie friend. Are there any greens that would be suitable? I would love to see this experiment done with deep purple, pink and green. Take care.

I think this is my favourite so far of the SMSMS series this year! Edit: the more I think about it, the more I think this may be my favourite colourway EVER. Edit edit: I even went to your ETSY store to see how much it would be to ship to Canada, but holy gods, unless there's something wrong with my browser settings, I can't afford that much for one skein of yarn no matter how gorgeous it is :(

❤❤❤❤
