Dye Time #52: Ice Dyeing with a Twist! Dyeing Yarn in a Plastic Bottle using Acid Dyes, Dye Over Ice

- This is a technique I've only ever seen done with fabric but I wanted to try it with yarn. So I cut off the bottom of a 2 litre plastic bottle and loaded in the yarn, acid dyes and ice, using the dye over ice method. And of course, there was an extra skein of yarn underneath the suspended bottle so not to waste any dye that dripped out of the bottle. After the ice melted, I steam set the yarn in bottle and added a bit more dye to the extra skein in a low immersion set up.
Featured in this tutorial:
Yarn: 2 x 100g Superwash Merino in DK
Dye: Black acid dye from DT Craft and Design, Hyacinth and Spearmint Breeze acid dyes from Dharma Trading.
All equipment (pots/spoons/jars etc) used in this video is dedicated for dyeing.

I have a monthly yarn subscription that can be purchased through my Patreon: / fromthecauldron Each month you'll receive 100g of yarn in your chosen weight dyed in a mystery colourway and some goodies made by other small businesses. Another perk for patreons is they get early access to the video where I dye that month's yarn and they get to vote for next month's theme.
You can support me another way by buying me a coffee! Proceeds from buy me a coffee will enable me to invest in equipment and dyes so I can produce more educational videos: www.buymeacoffee.com/fromthec...

Yes! Random color!! So much fun, especially when you are able to use multiple dye techniques. Love it!
Yes! Thank you! I love the surprise at the end.
Hi from Nova Scotia, I just found your channel. Great experiment and loved the way it turned out. Please experiment away, I looking forward to watching more.
Hello Nova Scotia! I’m so glad your enjoying my videos. I’ve got more experiments lined up which I can’t wait to try.
Now what? you have to knit/crochet it?
UK here. Just found your channel and I will definitely be doing this. I love ice dyeing but have only ever used cotton fabric before. Thanks.
Welcome and thank you! Good luck with your dyeing adventure.
Cool! Definitely a fan of experimentation, so I'd definitely say yes, experiment away! One thing I was thinking of with the bottle and ice dyeing is perhaps you could layer the dye a little in the yarn hank and then add the ice. I bet it would be a bit different effect. Just curios. Thanks for a fun video!
That’s a great idea! I’ll definitely be doing that next time. Thank you for the suggestion ❤️
I agree, I think you'd get more even color thru the yarn
OMG 😃😃🤩🤩🤩
❤️❤️❤️
Could you dye my hair like that?
I wish!
So so sooooo much fun! Why are you so out of breathe? I hope you are well!
When I have my mask on, it sounds like I'm out of breath. I'm fine though! Thank you for asking :)
I've never seen ice dyeing like this before, it's amazing. Would you be able to advise where I can buy the stand you use for the bottle please? Thank you x
The stand I'm using is one I got years ago for holding silicone candle moulds. The closest I've found online now is metal wax melt/burner stands. Something like this might work: suppliesforcandles.co.uk/product/black-wax-burner-on-silver-stand?gclid=Cj0KCQiAsburBhCIARIsAExmsu74PyWdPgqTWlbgE0FmxDd0Q9o9v9IY0KyjJN40ZjkhdQ3ot-RSwJQaAqjMEALw_wcB
As long as the dish the wax is melted in is removable, I'd think it would work for this ice dyeing method.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your reply x
Not a problem!
I have always wondered why people don't but a yarn in the bottom for a second dye lot.
I always try to use up as much dye as possible. That extra skein is always fun and unpredictable.
That background noise? What the heck?
