Thank you SO MUCH for showing swatches of each technique! As I try to learn more about dyeing, I’m trying to figure out what techniques will lead to what type of pattern on the fabric, and you are the only KZreadr I’ve found so far who shows actual swatches of your colorway, and it is so helpful.

The swatches are critical to tailoring your dye application to match the project you're dyeing for. I believe nobody else is doing these because it's so many added hours of work with zero pay.

Thanks for including crochet samples in your videos!!

Another brilliant detailed lesson. Thank you Nicole

Again, great instruction!

Love this so much I never would have though of mixing purple pop with bright aqua like that it makes a beautiful indigo. I always use your recipe to achieve the more even version of purple pop using the xtreme blue and fluorescent fuschia the results are so much better when dyeing a solid skein, without the breaking, then using the actual dye. U have the best dye info it’s always so helpful and appreciated

Thank you! I try to bring quality content

Great tutorial. Congratulations on all the experimenting you do 👏🏼👏🏼

Your videos are full of so much incredible information, thank you for sharing your knowledge!! You inspired me to try dyeing for myself over covid lockdown times (and that's when I discovered I am pretty allergic to superwash merino 👎👎). It was super fun though!!

Awesome video! You said that you don't recommend white vinegar, can you explain why? I tend to use vinegar out of habit, but could easily switch to citric acid. I thought they were pretty much interchangeable. Thank you!

Vinegar is weak, like 5% acid whereas citric acid is 55%. A $5.99 jug of vinegar will not go nearly as far as a 1 lb bag of citric acid, dollar for dollar. Plus the smell, theres no odor to wash out with citric acid. The only benefit to vinegar is you can get it at the grocery store, citric acid usually needs to be ordered.

@@NicoleFrostYarn Whoa! Thank you! I had no idea. I’m used to the smell, but I’m going to switch to citric acid asap. Cheers!

Is the yarn pre-mordanted?

At 1:52 I talk about mordant and dye strike. While soaking the acid is in the water.
