A lot of the yarn from this milestone episode of Dyepot Weekly is still available in the ChemKnits Creations Etsy Shop! chemknitscreations.etsy.com/
By your dyeing week after week, you have given many of us courage to begin our dyeing life with commercial and natural dyes rather than starting off with kool-aid or tulip dyes. Thank you!
It is my pleasure! I still often recommend food coloring (although obviously people don't have to do it!) as a way to figure out if you enjoy the hobby before investing in equipment and dyes. :D
@@ChemKnitsTutorials I started with Wilton Food gel dyes and still use them but I really like acid dyes for wools. I have a lot of towel wt. Cotton yarn and dyes some the other day and really didn't like the outcome. I like the mercerized cotton colors; UT I don't like the way the unmercerized cotton comes out with the Procion dyes. There is no shine to them.
This video is exactly the combination of empirical method, artistic vision, and chummy presentation that I love and expect from you. Great video! Congrats on 300!
Awe, thank you so much, Paula! I had a LOT of fun putting this one together!
Congratulations Rebecca! Thank you for sharing your yarn-dyeing journey. I’m looking forward to what you plan to create next. 🤓
Thank you so much!
Love the pink and purple. It's beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!!
Rebecca, I don’t usually like to watch long videos but, I can watch you dye yarn ALL day long!!!! I really like watching your videos and learning to dye yarn. I’m glad I stumbled onto your channel some time ago. Thank you SO much for what you do for us!!!!
Thank you so much, Linda! I **TRY** to not make the videos super long all the time, but sometimes I want to share the whole long journey. :D
Well done. I love watching your videos because I don't have the income to test everything out. So, I can watch your successes and your challenges and learn before I dive in and dye an expensive yarn. Also, love mini-skeins for experimenting. Also, it's just entertaining me to watch people do all things creative.
Yay! this is exactly why I try to show things that I do that don't work. And also to show that not everything works perfectly for me the first time. ;)
Congratulations on episode 300! Here’s to another 300!
YES! Thank you so much!
Ok, we need to get together and dye yarn. 😁
I love your "hypothesis" talk. You remind me that it's all science. Funny, I never had problems getting glaze when I wasn't looking for that. Lol! Now I must revisit my dye pot!!
It is really fun to do a deep dive like this and see what little differences contribute to the effects we see.
Thank you for this experiences...I love the glazed effect and plan \hope\dream to glaze enough yarn for a sweater...your videos are great!!!
Love the purple. You should call it Purple Haze.
Oooo! I love this purple so much!!
300 episodes and still so many color combinations to explore! 👏🏼 Congrats!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on making 300!
🎉 Thank you!
Rebecca, think on this: the yarn may be working as a semi-permeable membrane. the dye molecules are different sizes in different dyes. so, i think i will try using white yarn, the same yarn for each color, and see if low concentration of dye + high concentration vinegar + high heat + wet skein = a white yarn with a colored halo. i also thought about the differences between different fibers so i might do the whole thing with wool and mohair and see if that does it too. my theory is that the larger molecule dyes will make a better glaze than those with smaller molecules.
The chemistry of how the colors bind to yarn is not just a function of the molecule size, although that could have something to do with it. It likely has more to do with the functional groups and how tightly they are able to bind to the yarn. (Although this is just conjecture!)
I have been waiting for this!!! So helpful!! So I’m going to try presoaked yarn, less dye, high acid in a cold pot
Good luck!!!
This was very insightful. It definitely seems like the single ply glazed better. It would be neat to see various colors under the same top glaze done on the single ply. Also that hot pink with navy is so lovely 🥰
I want to do more layering glazing over multicolored again. I went for just black because it is a little easier to see and now I have some conditions to use with different colors.
I bought a skein of Stroll and, in person, I'm really uninspired by the color, so I unwound it and I'm definitely using this for reference for overdyeing it! Thanks for sharing your experiments and adventures lol!
Have fun!
Congratulations on 300 episodes! You are such an inspiration to me, both as a yarn dyer and a YT creator. Whenever I think about giving up, I think about your channel and everything you've accomplished, so I keep going.
The Muse yarn from the second True Black glaze method reminds me of a foster kitten we had a while back. He had a white undercoat with black tips on his fur. Apparently that coloring is called black smoke. (In 20+ years of fostering, I'd never seen it before.) That Muse yarn is just as gorgeous as he was!
Black smoke is the perfect name for the yarn! Thank you so much for joining me on my journey!
Congratulations on your 300 episode! I just love to watch and learn from you :) Looking forward to more of your chemknits tutorials:) Have a great summer :)
Thank you so much!
OH, also congrats on 300th episode!
Thank you so much!
This was a great comparison. I love tne overdyed look. I would love more of these comparisons.
Thank you! I plan to do more subtle changes in the future.
Such a great archivement ! ♥♥♥ Thanks a lot for sharing all those "secrest". I've learned a ton and you are a reason why I do dye my own yarn, and play with the dye and just soaked a sockblank because today some new colors will arrive and I want to swatch them. :)
You are so welcome! Thank you for joining my adventures. :D
Haven't been able to catch you for a bit. Your hair is cute.
Thank you!
congratulations on 300 fabulous tutorials 🌟🌟 this is y favourite dye technique 😍 I totally see these as of great value in this developing a tehnique in the same in the one tutorial 💡 it allows us, viewers, to have the courage to explore our own journey Loe the nay and pink colourway PS your hair is looking fabulous 💜 than in the rap-up, it's short again 😃
Thank you so much! :D I filmed the dyeing right before I chopped the hair off.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials It looked great on both ends of the video
It would be GREAT if you would comment on the various atributs of the brands and colors of different dyes you have experienced such as breaking, speed of striking, in cold verses watch warm dye baths etc.
Yay 300! Congrats. Ive used a darker grey at a .25 % DOS on a higher twist yarn and got glazing…I let yarn cool then I dunked in a pot with a pink before and it still had a good glaze! Have you tried this yet? I know you said it’s harder to do darker than lighter but it seemed to work. I wish I still had that yarn I made and took pics 😭
Id love to see you try it too.
I think lighter is possible, it is just harder to see if there isn't that much contrast. ;) :D
I've gotten a glazed feel when I've done sun dyed wilton's violet, wilton's black, and wilton's orange in balls. They had a halo of pink/red on the outside of the ball before settling in.
I've also gotten it from Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool when I haven't pre-scoured it so the lanolin hasn't been removed.
I've had the same thing happen when cold vat dyeing with wilton's violet and wilton's black. Which really threw me since red strikes faster.
Violet is good for glazing. I"ve found that with super high acid, some of the breaking almost reverses which is something I need to investigate more.
My water runs true neutral to slightly alkaline so I have to use more acid to get "normal" Chemknits results, so I think I was using a teaspoon/5 ml vinegar to 2 cups of water over a 20 g mini. The results were typical in that the red was more around the outer layers getting bluer the further in it went.
Congratulations to 300th Episodes! Loving your new haircut! I would’ve felt much better to have most of my hair chopped off. ;)
Thank you for both! It felt SO FREEING to chop my hair again. I had some fun with the long hair but I feel more like myself. (20 months no haircut!!!)
Congrats on the 300!!! I have been learning so much from you, I can't wait to share the results of my first dyes with you!
I have a question, I do have photoshop, if I find a color I like from there, and have the percentages of CMYK is there a way to turn that into a dye color mix to have that color match by using those same percentages do you know?
It would be interesting to see how this works out. I say… go for it!
Alanna Wilcox has a technique to match any Pantone color. I think that the hard thing about CMYK to the color exactly is that each dye brand has a slightly different potency, so it would need to be adjusted a bit. I'm really excited for Alanna's book to come out.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials ooo how cool is that!!!! that is what I was wondering because like you said I use the dharma dyes only for now and I have forced myself just to get the primaries, grey and browns. I did get a few other tri colors that I liked. I have noticed some just seem super strong over others. I will look her up too.. thank you for that! This has just been a super fun process to learn. I just love seeing your processes
@@ChemKnitsTutorials I have checked her out and don't know if you have checked out her dyeing sheets she has created but it is amazing!!! I am in love with those sheets!
I can't wait for her book to come out, I have been trying to create my own mixes, but I am failing big time with these color mixes. It is not like paint and I don't think they make a white dye LOL If they did, it would work perfectly.. Her sheet doc thing is just amazing. I tried her formulas for things for the second time and all dyes were exausted except for my blacks. So improvement! Yea!!! I also realized that you really don't need to use a lot of dyes either. A little bit goes a long way. I think my 8oz dyes will last me a lifetime hahaha!
Very, very interesting result! Both for glazing and tonals ❤ I can't wrap my brain around why it worked with cold water, but the result is excellent! I don't think you said, what you soaked the yarn in, so I'm guessing it was only water..?
Yes, it was just water in the presoak, no acid.
In cold water, the dye molecules aren't moving around as quickly. So this could mean that they very slowly come into contact with the yarn? I'm not sure!
Rebecca @ChemKnits Tutorials, do you have any videos where you dye one color then, speckle with another color? i.e. A Frozen colored base with pink or purple speckles?
Oh goodness, yes. I've definitely done a base color tonal and then speckled over it. There was a painting inspired one when I did a pastel underlayer with black speckles I love. And a few others I'm not thinking of off the top of my head.
Is it just me, or does it seem easier to glaze a singles? There was a DyerSupplier (I think) fingering singles (don't think they have it anymore) that almost always seemed glazed when I tried to dye it. Part of me wonders if there are more free little fibers sticking out on the surface of singles that grab the dye. Your purple is just gorgeous!
It is MUCH easier to glaze singles. They're thicker, so there is inherently more resist in the twist to begin with. Super thin single don't have a lot of interior space, a speckle could go all the way through the strand.
I emailed you a Hanukkah idea.
I saw the email before I saw this. ;)
