Watching the water soak into the yarn in the jars was so oddly satisfying.
I am 100% Team Heat in Jars
Thank you!
These are so beautiful-- I think this is my favorite technique I've watched of yours so far!! I may try this if I get froggy and jump into dying my own yarn!!❤
You can try this out with food coloring, too!
With some home canning experience, I was glad to see you put cold jars into cold water, then heat the entire pot. You clearly know that putting cold jars into hot water is likely to break the jars. Nice colors.
yeah changing the temperature of the glass too fast frightens me.
These remind me of irises. So pretty! Makes me look forward to spring gardening.
You heat set it the way I usually do -- leave it in the jar. It's just easier, especially if I'm dyeing multiple jars with different colors at the same time.
Thank you! Irises are my favorite flower
Hello from frozen DFW! I am extra happy to be watching this video because I didn’t expect the notification to allow me to even load the video since we’ve had no internet (cell or broadband) for a while now. This is a great technique I can do to take advantage of the forced downtime we are having! And yes, I’ve got a pan of snow dyeing “cooking” outside 😂
so I am curious, how were you able to watch it? I ask because I live in rural North Central FL where internet can really get wonky. Did you use a hot spot? I would think not since that is transmitted by cell? I would love to know the tech stuff as on again off again internet drives me nuts, I am a daily student at You Tube University!!!
I hope that you're doing well. I've been thinking a lot about everyone in Texas right now. Sending warmths and thawing vibes!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials Thanks, Rebecca! We were very fortunate to come out of the Snowpocalypse unscathed, and my snow dye turned out well, too. It’s going to be in the 70s which feels criminal after the catastrophe we endured. Thank you for sending positivity our way!!
That came out fabulously!!! The little bits of breaking adds that's 'how did they do that' aspect.
I still am not quite sure how it happened or how to replicate it. lol.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials i know right! It's the happy accidents that look so gorgeous and then you go, "How did I do that?"
Fun! I love the dye techniques where there is a surprise reveal at the end!
Thank you so much!
Other factors for subsequent videos: pour the water down the side of the jar, or load the water from the bottom (tube and funnel).
I was thinking that, after a while, you could turn the jars over and let them sit upside down.
@@moonbitaylor9500 great idea!
I've got a tube suggestion on my list - I'm not sure if you've mentioned this before or if it was someone else. :D
I was just thinking about how I would do this during the winter. My first thought was to put the jars in the warmest room (the bathroom/laundry room) on a high shelf, but then I remembered a trick from my partner's bread-making - I could put the jars in the oven with just the light on. Nice long, low heat,
He came over to chat just as I finished typing this and suggested using the Sous Vide machine. I wonder if anyone has done any experiments with precise temperatures...
Oooo intersting thoughts. I wonder if my oven with just the light on will help with bread proofing.... I put my last bread up in the kids room. ;) I live on a slab house and it is sooooo cold in the winter!
I love all your dyeing videos and found this one really fun! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Wow! Those colors together are beautiful! The way u did this is amazing! Love watching your tutorials. Hope you have a blessed day
Thank you so much!
This is one of my favorites that you have done. I love the colors and everything about them.
Thank you so much!
I LOVED how these skeins turned out! They're so fun and cool🤩😍
Thank you so much!
Great choice of colours!
Thank you! I want to use these together again!
Beautiful results!
Thank you! 😊
This gives me the vibes of that "Jazz" design on the paper cups. my cat loves watching these with me, but I think she's most interested in the bright purple gloves moving in and out of frame while you're dying lol
I love thinking of a cat attacking the screen! Lol. (Or watching it very closely. I don't have a cat so I'm just imagining it in my head.)
I love this so interesting. And your energy is so fun . 🐥
Oh thank you!
This is fortuitous! I just recently knit up some yarn I solar dyed over the summer and wanted to do more like it, but alas, WINTER! I'm so excited to see how this turned out for you. (I haven't started watching yet.)
I'm very proud that I actually have a video like this airing in the correct season for once! Lol. If I do some snow dyeing this year the videos would probably come out in July! ;)
I loved this video, was amazing. hope you are keeping well cant wait for the next videos
Thank you! There is a lot of fun stuff coming over the next few weeks.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials can't wait too see. Me and lottie where watching a few videos last night and she loved the valentines one.
This yarn is so pretty! It's like a Monet painting.
THank you so much!
I will definitely try this technique. Thank you for the video.
You’re welcome 😊
Can I just say gorgeous!
Thank you!
Just beautiful
Thank you! 😊
I love these colors together. I’ve found that kettle over-dyeing in a 1/4% DOS will cover the white nicely.
Depends on the color. ;) 1/4% DOS of navy is still pretty dark. (Don't ask why that one is on my brain at the moment, lol.)
Fun video!
Thank you!
Pretty cool!
Thank you so much!
I’ll need to play now! That looks so fun to do and someone just gave me some one quart jars.
Woohoo! Just make sure if you're going to use them with acid dyes you mark them somehow to not use for food later on.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials I keep all my dyeing tools separate. I’ve been dyeing for 8 years, and try to be very careful. It’s easier now that my oldest grandson is 18 too. He’s grown up around my fiber activities. Now that he’s older he helps out at the fiber shows! Wait till your two get older.
I've just got my 1st order of seaspray, and i also found it breaks, as i got some touches of bright yellow. Interesting, but a little frustrating as i wanted the one colour all over 🤔💕
This is a big reason why I like to do crude rough swatches to get a sense of how different colors behave so the maybe I won't get surprises. Maybe, lol.
That's a good idea. I've bought a load of 20gm minis, to play around with. 🤔💕
I day shake the jars. Then take out, see what you got. If you like it, set it. If not, put in low immersion see what blleds out & maybe stir a bit before heat set
This sounds fun!!
Have you ever done a technique like this with food coloring? I don't yet have the ability to get dedicated dye equipment so I can play with acid dyes, but I love this idea!!
I did solar dyeing with food coloring way way back in 2019 Chanukah special, I'm not sure if that is the first time I tried it... not it wasn't. There was another solar dyeing video from 2019 I think where I tried it first. Both using food coloring drops.
I love doing this for 20g test skeins because it's so convenient. I just let them hang out for a day or two until the dyes all absorb and then toss them in a steam basket.
I love the results of doing this with minis!!
Play with sea spray! I love that color. Wonder what would happen if you shook the jar 🤔
I'm not sure! Maybe not very much since the jars are pretty packed, but it could do some mixing potentially.
I saw a very interesting video using sprinkles, a bottle of water and a box of baking soda in an instapot. The woman said that the steam setting forced the water into the sprinkles. I wonder how that would work with yarn and dyes.
Why backing soda I wonder. Hmmm.....
I love the breaking!!!
I wonder what would happen if you did two skeins together in a larger jar. 🤔
I feel like I've done that.... maybe. But now I'm not sure. Sometimes I have plans for things (like 2 skeins in a jar) but then things shift.
I have done 150 g+ of miniskeins in a mason jar from last chanukah.
I dare you to can 4 skeins, each in its own jar, using today's method, and opening each jar a week apart.
This isn't a bad idea, but I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make. From a past video, it looked like colors stopped moving (because they'd set with my tap water) within a few hours. I left one out for a week and the colors didn't completely mix together. Maybe I'd have more of a difference if I started with distilled water, I'm not sure.
Heating it in the jars make sense but I would be to impatient to see the results first and end up steaming them
I might have just done that, too. However, in the off chance some stuff hadn't dissolved yet I wanted to mimic the technique as much as possible. :D
Have you thought of using a solar oven to heat the yarn? You can cook in them year round with free energy.
I don't know if I was aware these existed until I just googled it! Very interesting to think about.
So pretty! Sea spray definitely breaks in all techniques, speckaling or dye solution. You did swatch it before. I remember because I knew I had that color and wondered what you were going to say with the breaking. Also for a note if the jars were in the sun don't you think color would have traveled with the heat moving through the water? You made comment that these colors would have been the same either way but I think in sun we would have seen a difference. I could be wrong. Please let me know what you think. Also I've always been curious about dip dye with sea spray cause it definitely breaks. As always love you and love your videos.
Addendum to your hypothesis: non-solar heat on one side of the jars to make the water move. Does anyone have a fireplace?
The heat from the sun is so slow to warm up I'm not sure if it would have made a difference. yes, diffusion happens faster in water for sure, but I think the greatest movement happens from pouring the water over the dye. It doesn't seem as though a lot of diffusion happens after the fact.
I could try to do a side by side test (outside vs inside) this summer, but it might be hard to draw conclusions since there is some amount of variability depending on exactly how things go into the jars.
Now I'm wondering if I mislabled it on the swatch card, or maybe I didn't include that card in my swatch folder? I think I might be missing someimages... now I have to figure out what computer they're on. *facepalm*
this is the problem with a disorganzied swatching system!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials if you are referring to sea spray you swatched it in PS 32 when swatching new dyes. It's the 3rd blue you do but no comments on seeing breaking. What is very strange is if you make a dye stock and let it set say come back next day the colors split in solution. Try it even with 100ml it splits so I wonder what would happen dip dyeing.
So pretty
Thank you! I want to do a lot more of this.
It's akin to both life and boxes of chocolate... you never know what you're gonna get!
Absolutely!
Interesting. Wondering if I can use this method on silk hankies.
I'm sure you could!
This will be my next experiment, and I am wondering how it would work to use a syringe to inject water into the bottom or center, or here and there. I think I will do 2 jars one as you did and the other with a gravy baster and/or syringey type thingy. The colors are great. I have been using my fiber reactive dyes on wool with heat and vinegar and they work great. I have a lot and didn't want to purchase more dye powder due to $$$. They do not come out as vibrant though but still nice.
I had the same idea!
@@paulagrnsy 😍Nice to hear!
❤️
Thank you!
Have you attempted a solid/semi solid with this technique before? I am assuming that you would have to have the dye mixed in the jar with water before the fiber is added. Would that create a variegated tonal rather than a solid due to the resist from being in a jar?
Also, you swatched Sea Spray when you did the hyacinth dye. Same video, same pot I believe .
So maybe I mislabeled it? Because I couldn't find it on the photos that I labeled. *sigh*
I have a "solar dyeing 3 ways" video where I tried a few different things, but I forget exactly which ones. I've certainly done tonals with cool vat stuff but maybe not injars.
This is beautiful, do you think you could use this jar technique with food colour or kool aid?
Yes you can!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials I was about to ask but searched first! Wow! I'm so excited to try this! Thank you! 😊
I loved this so much; had to try it! However, I didn't do very well. I tried with damp yarn and then almost forgot the vinegar - and then added too much. It 'smells' a bit now - despite thorough washing including with detergent. Please let me know what I can do to 'correct' it - should I try and pastel solution to cover it - or maybe the toner black like you've done? Any suggestions tips to correct what I've done would be appreciated; thank you so much!
Is the smell like vinegar or does it smell musty? I think if it smells like vinegar then letting it air out for a while could help.
As for the color - if you're not a fan you can absolutely overdye with a pastel color or even go a little deeper with black. A deeper black will have some more subtle changes where you color did strike and tone things down. (Not knowing how things look, either are good options.) If it were me, I might try for a pastel over color first, and if I didn't like how that turned out then I'd go for black/navy. :D
@@ChemKnitsTutorials Thank you soooo much for replying; now the yarn is fully dry it no longer smells. It also looks better! I may overdye with a pastel first - thank you for the suggestion; I'll let you know. THANK YOU!
It gets hot enough in the sun to set the colors? I wonder if this would be a less yarn damaging way to set dye in acrylics
Unfortunately this won't work for acrylics since the high heat is essential for the dyeing process. (A lot of dyes come with washing machine instructions - I've never tried this and I'm not sure if I would. But synthetic dyes have in big bold that they need to be done on the stovetop for the dyeing to work.)
That being said, I haven't TRIED cool vat with the dye more synthetic. but my hypothesis is that it wouldn't work super well since synthetics are harder to dye overall. A lot of dyes for wool/cotton etc either have cold instructions or talk about just using warm/hot water for the process.
Can you do this with kool-aid?
yes! The one main difference is that KoolAid can strike pretty quickly sometimes, you'll get more spread in a non-superwash yarn.
Well you're gonna have to do a "breaking seaspray" video now aren't you! 😂
I will. ;)
@@ChemKnitsTutorials excellent!
