The yarn in this video is 50 g of simply organic cotton worsted weight yarn shrsl.com/m7bc (KnitPicks Affiliate Link)

*,* ooooh wow the end of the video where we could see the end product!!! Holy smokes is that pretty! The two skeins are so different and amazing that I just love these to bits!

Wonderful tutorial! I especially enjoyed seeing the differences between the hank and the skein. Thanks so much.

Gorgeous yarn!!

so pretty they both look very beautiful

You are so cute and fun to watch!! Love it!

Totally going to be trying this very very soon!! :) My little sister and I are very keen to try dying our own yarn!!

I've used Tulip tie dyes many times, and I always leave the dye on overnight. I just feel the color stays more vibrant after washing.

I often wait at least overnight (if not a couple of days.) More time doesn't heart, but as I mentioned in a different reply, I did an experiment once where I found that steaming for 30 minutes gave very similar results to letting the yarn sit at room temperature for 24 hours.

love it

Love ❤️

I love this....I want to make a project (a baby cocoon) and THEN tie dye it, im looking to make it look like the classic tie dye rings. ...do you think this would work? And are you willing to make a video?? LOLOL

Also I would love a link to the kit you are using. I see a bunch of them but I want yours. LOL

I think you would have found that if you had used warm to medium hot water the cotton would have absorbed the water a lot faster than cold. 🤗 I have always found cotton absorbed better when in warm water this is why I stopped washing my cottons in cold water due to them floating too much before finally being dragged down into the cold water wash.

ChemKnits Tutorials 🤗 your welcome lol funny I have found the natural cotton I have right from the plant also repels the water before it finally getting soaked so it’s something naturally to cotton 😹😹🤔🤔🤔 I did not even know that cotton did this 😹😹😹 so I have even learned something new about cotton 🤗🤗🤗

ChemKnits Tutorials thanks I am so lucky to be living in and around the place where it is grown every summer lol I have been lucky to have been given some Lema wool a few months back 😹 mind you I had to work out how to wash and clean it all 😹😹😹finally worked it out by using small bags made out of a fine gauze like the stuff used for wedding vale’s 😹😹😹 Lucky I still had plenty left over from my wedding vale so am busy making small draw sting bags which I can place the wool and cotton into for washing and even dying as it’s a nylon it does not take up the dye . I worked it out that all I have to do is pull the cord but don’t tie them off as washed string is a problem to untie 😳😳 but using cable ties for wiring this works well as I can undo them with a simple trick with a pointed tip of a knife or an ice pick works just as well😹😹😹😹 I have built a small roving machine which I can crank by hand 😹😹😹 a really basic system but it works even if it’s very small I am saving up for one of the fancy electric ones as this will free up both hands to feed the machine 🤔😺😸 I am hoping to see if I can grow some of the cotton seeds as the flower is so pretty it’s a purple flower and I love it but also it’s not an grown and die at the end plant I have noticed it’s more of a bush plant really so I’m looking forward to seeing if this is true because if so it would be cool to have my own supply of cotton every time the flowers die off naturally 😹😹😹😹

I would love to see what you made with those dyed skeins.

Please tell me if I can dye cotton thread with this kit? Like Aunt Lydia's #3. If I can will I have to pre soak it and with what?

@ChemKnitsTutorials

Daisy Ransom There are many different dyes you can use on cotton fibers, it is best to look at the recommended fiber types for the dye before trying it out. (The tie dye kit is specifically for cotton Tshirts which is why it worked so well on this yarn.) I haven't used commercial acid dyes yet, but most acid based dyes don't work on cotton. The chemistry of dyeing protein based fibers (wool, silk etc) and cellulose based fibers (cotton, linnen) are different.

I was wondering if you have tried this on acrylic yarn?

Rolling it up, if you were to lay another Saran Wrap over it then roll it up, would that help??? Lol

how long dose the dye last when mixed with the water please?

can I dye thick and quick yarn by lion brand yarn

I watched your wool dying video with Tulip dyes and it seems you get better, more saturated colour on the cotton yarn whereas the wool turned pastel. Did you find this to be true?

how to dye in many quantity of yarn ?

hey, so when you are rinising after its ran clear, do u only wash it the once? how long does it take to dry ? thank you Natasha

@ChemKnitsTutorials

3 жыл бұрын

Tie dye can take a lot longer to wash than wool with acid dyes - since the dyes don't exhaust completely. I rinse until it runs clear, but then with the finished item I might wash on its own a few times before including it in regular laundry. (Just like I would with a tie dye t-shirt.) I don't remember if I've tried putting cotton yarn in a laundry bag.... tie dye is a bit of a pain with the washing.

Hi again, I still havent started with my dying adventure. Two questions, will the dye, while rinsing, dye my white sink and will it dye my stainless steel pans? I thank you!

@ChemKnitsTutorials

5 жыл бұрын

Hi Julie, I'm not sure what your sink is made out of, so it is possible that it could get stained. I have a white porcelain (I think) sink and a stainless steel sink and neither of those have been stained in the projects. My stainless pot has taken up a bit of color from some dyes if the dye is on the edge with the heat (versus being in solution.) For tie dye, i would use a dedicated dye pot. I only use food coloring in pots that I use for cooking. Good luck!

After mixing the tie dye solution , will it last sitting in the bottles or do you have to use it all right away ?

@ChemKnitsTutorials

6 жыл бұрын

You will get the best results if you use it right away, but TECHNICALLY you can use it after months of sitting there. There are a few videos on the channel where I used old tulip dyes and got some nice colors. I think that the colors degrade while they are sitting in water so there are fewer molecules to react with the yarn.

I wonder what would happen if you just inject the colour into the ball and then just let it sit and see how far the colour would wick out?

It does technically work, although the colors are less vibrant.

If you wind the yarn into a cake, will the colors break like Wilton Food coloring?
