- Welcome to a new yarn dyeing adventure! Always wondered how to dye yarn? Or have you been wanting some of that gorgeous hand dyed yarn, but it's just too expensive? In this series I will show you different ways to dye yarn at home. We are starting off the series with a red, white and blue project, and a simple step by step on how to do it.
If you dip your toes into hand dyeing yarn - and I hope you do! - I would love to see what you make! So please tag me on social media if you do, and share your yarn for others to be inspired as well.
Disclaimer: Please note that this is not THE way to dye yarn, it is A way to dye yarn. In this series I will show you many different ways of doing it, and it is all about trying and testing and simply finding the methods that are the most to your liking, and that produces the yarn you want to have.

It's fun to see someone we know!
This is so fun and educational. Can't wait to get started.
I'm happy to hear you are enjoying it! Have fun making your own colorways! 🙂
Very helpful! Can I use RIT liquid dyes with this method?
I'm happy to hear that! I haven't worked with RIT dyes, but from what I understand it is a liquid concentrate that you dilute in water. If so, it should absolutely be possible to use it for dyeing multicolored yarn as well. You just dilute the colors in a cup/container/measuring cup and pour it on the yarn. Just make sure you end up with enough fluid in the pan for all the yarn to be wet, and preferably that you have a little bit of fluids in the pan before turning on the stove, or you might burn the yarn. For the rest of the process - soaking, using citric acid etc - you follow the instructions for the RIT dye instead.
Since I haven't worked with RIT dyes before, I can not guarantee the result of using their dyes this way, but again - I believe it should work. My tip would be to get some inexpensive, commercial yarn of the same quality as the yarn you intend to dye, and do a few tests to see what results you are getting and if this method works well for the project you have in mind. Good luck and have fun! 🙂
@@anilovecreations Thank you!
What brand of die and acid 😢
In this video I used Pro Chemical & Dye in 'Sky blue' and Jacquard Acid Dyes in 'Fire red'. For citric acid you can use any household citric acid from your local grocery store, or order online. All colors and brands used will always be listed in the video description below each video. 🙂
