Dye with Me: Lotus & Merlot | Lofty Loops Yarns | Hand Dyed Yarn | Speckled Yarn Dyeing
A new Dye with Me video! I'm dyeing up a couple batches of Merlot and Lotus for customer orders and decided to bring you guys along for the ride!
This is not meant to be a tutorial and will not cover every step in detail, but more of a peek behind the scenes.
Please feel free to ask questions, but know that I may choose not to answer questions that are proprietary to my business. Thank you!

I like the yarn and the music!
I love the merlot color!
Great video!
They look gorgeous :)
Love 💘
Great video, did you speckle both sides or just one side?
I may need to start dyeing my own yarns o:
Did it make it more tonal/more varigation to start with a cool bath, or did it make the colour more even across the skein?
I love your video! 🤍 Can I know what hair dye product you used?
Loved your video I want to start dyeing my own yarn for my own use. How do you get rid of the water moisture from skeins ? Spinner? The colours were beautiful

Thank you! Yes, I use a spin dryer (for laundry), but you can also roll them up in a towel to squeeze out the extra moisture. I’ve used a salad spinner in a crunch, too. 😅
Hi did you just speckled one side of the wool
Great work! I would like to ask something. For how long did you soak the yarn in the boiling water with dye?

The yarn stays in the water until all the dye has exhausted and the water is clear. The timeframe ranges based on the amount of dye and color of dye itself.
Im new to dying in the steamer pans. Does procion dye work like this with cotton for speckling?
what kind of yard do you use, please?
Hi. How to turn cotton yarn in white color?
I’ve tie dyed for a living for 7 years now but have never dyed yarn. I just started crocheting and love the look of dyed yarn but it’s a bit pricey so I figured I’d just do it myself. But why do you boil the water? I’ve never done hot dye baths rather I’ve used ice or simply water baths at room temp. I’m assuming your using procion dyes from dharma, that’s actually what I’ve used for years. Love them.

Hello! I hope Allison doesn't mind me answering your comment. I dye yarn too and you need different dye to the stuff you use for cotton. You need to use acid dye, which works with citric acid or vinegar, as well as moisture and heat to set the dye. The dye won't exhaust if you don't use heat with it, which is why she was heating it up ☺ x

@@thecornerofcraft ok gotcha. I use soda ash as a presock on bamboo fiber and cotton. Some procion dyes do suggest using hot or warm water but it's not a must to set the dye. I just ordered some cotton yarn to dye for a sweater project so I was curious. Thank you.

Hello! I really enjoyed your video! And I would like to share it with russian-speaking audience. Do you think it's okay if I publish your video on my channel with dub in Russian. I'll add a link to your channel in the description box.

I would be happy to include Russian subtitles if you’d be willing to supply them. The amount of talking in this video is very minimal so I don’t think it is necessary to repost with a dubbed version. Thank you for offering, though.
Do you wear a mask when using the powders?

Cara Dayhoff Yes, I always wear a mask! I’ve got another video coming soon where I go into that in further detail! 🤗
hellp, i know this might be odd but i would rather hear you talk about your process even in a voiceover, the music was ok the first time through but when it repeated it got old real fast.
