Adi, I'm SO GLAD you like the yarn! I wasn't sure if it quite fit the vision we discussed, but it turned out so pretty and I love the glaze on the orange. I should do more orange things in general!

I’m inspired by this tutorial to try and use this technique in a fade set. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much, ChiChi! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos.

I absolutely live these colours. I've dyed my hand spun yarns with food colouring, but now I want to try acid dyes thank you so much for this video.

I love how the glazing deepened the orange and took it to a warm, cozy, autumn colorway.

I have a video request: how about a “strike off” video, where you take different dyes you might want to use for glazing or speckling and compare the strike speed? Like a race. You could do 0.1g dye in different jars, heating in a bain marie in your big caterer pan on stove. Add 10g yarn to each and start the race. It could be pretty fun to film, and both glazing and speckling benefit from fast strikers.

This is an interesting idea but might be logistically hard to film or get conclusive results - especially when there are so many different dye colors. One big culperate here is that some dyes are blends of different pigments and may have some that strike fast (and therefore would work great for a glazed effect) but then also have other pigments that bind slower. If we're just looking for water to clear this might not tell me what we need to know. I do have a new glazing video coming up with a color I hadn't tried before in the next few weeks :D

@@ChemKnitsTutorials looking forward to seeing that. Aren’t we all envious of that Malabrigo magic glazed effect?

That turned out beautifully! Quick question ... I know you use vinegar a lot, but how much citric acid do you suggest instead of vinegar (per 100g skein, for example)? I've been adding around 2 tbsp but wasn't sure if that is a good amount.

@ChemKnitsTutorials

10 ай бұрын

2 Tbsp of citric acid is WAY more than you need. I think CA powder is 12x stronger than vinegar. (Citric acid is a stronger acid, but also the vinegar acetic acid is already diluted in water.) I don't have a good ratio or recipe for it, unfortunately. I came to my vinegar proportions based on trial and error.

Hello Rebecca, I started zu glaze my yarn and I have a question to step 2. You put the yarn into a cool water and warm up it slowly? Is it right? 🙈 Thank you very much for inspiration! ❤

@ChemKnitsTutorials

Жыл бұрын

Yes - Lately I like to start with a cold dyebath with high acid and then heat it up. (Slowly is relative - it tends to take a while even with the heat on high.) One big key is to have a high water:yarn ratio so the yarn can really spread out.

Have you done glazing with fiber reactive dye and cotton?

@ChemKnitsTutorials

Жыл бұрын

I haven't tried this. I don't have as good of a feel for fiber reactive dyes and ones that may strike quickly.

I use a nina soft spin dryer from laundry alternative and the exact model has been discontinued. (amzn.to/40dycv0 affiliate link) This is the main reason why I don't mention the brand or anything very much because the brand has other models but I haven't tested them out personally. Other dyers like panda brand I think?
