    Beautiful ❣️ I just watched an 8 year old video of yours where you broke WV on wool roving. Decided to try it. It came out soooo beautiful! I'm going to sell it and call it Rebecca 😁 I've learned a lot about how to dye from you. You're awesome!

    Glaze with some Green? (with blues) Does green strike fast? My brain can't "brain" today. Also, what about doing an experiment with NSW to actually see if it glazes? Im curious as most of my spinning is NSW.

    I think this is my favourite so far of the SMSMS series this year! Edit: the more I think about it, the more I think this may be my favourite colourway EVER. Edit edit: I even went to your ETSY store to see how much it would be to ship to Canada, but holy gods, unless there's something wrong with my browser settings, I can't afford that much for one skein of yarn no matter how gorgeous it is :(

    so you cant really go wrong with either brand? Ive switched to jaquard just because it's easier to get.

  • @ChemKnitsTutorials
    @ChemKnitsTutorials3 күн бұрын

    Correct! I have some prefrences, but I use both and love the results. I like Dharma's fl. safety orange better than jacquard's fl. orange, but you can adjust the tones to your liking by adding more pink or yellow. There isn't a good eqivalent to purple pop in jacquard's line - but you can mix something with turquoise and hot fuchsia.

    It is so pretty! I have no idea what percentage my white vinegar is - all it says is contains vinegar!! Oh well - it works ok. Yes! Definitely you should try on non super wash. ❤

  • @ChemKnitsTutorials
    @ChemKnitsTutorials3 күн бұрын

    Most vinegar at home is 4 or 5% acetic acid. It should say somewhere on the bottle likely. I started saying that I'm using the 5% aa vinegar because there was some discussion in the canning community about the strength changing in some brands and that makes a HUGE difference for canning. For yarn it doesn't matter as much.

    I like this shoebox method. I don't really have the space for most of the dyeing tools I've seen in most videos (hopefully later! 😂). But this is great for a beginner who just wants to mess around a bit. Which fibers work best for this method? Can you use any fiber?

  • @ChemKnitsTutorials
    @ChemKnitsTutorials5 күн бұрын

    This is a super relavent question to something I'm working on today! ;) I mostly dye superwash wool blends, but it should work on other fiber types. The wrost that will happen is that the dye will all blend together.

    Hello my dear, thank you for showing me how to glaze yak with pink. I still have a lot of yak here that is already spun and needs to be spun. It looks so beautiful glazed with pink. Really beautiful! I'm very curious to see how it looks when I dye mulberry silk pink and glaze it together with yak spun. Do you have any advice?

  • @ChemKnitsTutorials
    @ChemKnitsTutorials3 күн бұрын

    The yak blend yarn was superwash, so that is part of what made it a bit easier. You can see my glazing conditions in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qWmgwdh8lJqTks4.html (I have things written out under VIDEO CONTENTS in the descrption.) A SW merino/silk blend also glazed super well, but that also had the superwash component and superwash yarns soak up color faster than non-superwash. I have plans to try to glaze with non-superwash at some point.

    I really enjoy watching your videos! Your energy and enthusiasm is contagious. With regards to the Peacock Blue, it might be a dye that requires a minimum of 125 degrees F to fully dissolve because of the turquoise in it. You said you had dissolved it in hot water, but it might not have been quite hot enough. My hot water from the tap is 120 degrees F maximum. If I am using anything with Turquoise, I heat up the water a little more. Just a thought.

  • @ChemKnitsTutorials
    @ChemKnitsTutorials6 күн бұрын

    Boiling water would be better for sure, but I'm lazy TBH. One other issue I've had is that things are soluble when super hot and then crash back out of solution when things cool off. But yes - I should use boiling water probably! :D
