Thank you for this clear concise tutorial. I am interested in dying Tussah silk. I am aware that silk is generally an animal protein fiber. As I'm sure you know Tussah is made from the short fibers after the worm has left, therefore not having any animal fibers. What I'm wondering, however is if the dying process is still the same given the fact that even though it's not animal protein, I'm wondering if it is a plant-based protein substance nonetheless, and still requires the same or similar dying process as the animal protein based mulberry silk?!

Thankyou for this series. This is excellent. Would this method work for wool balls and will the dye be permanent?

Wish you could have the dried yarn at the end to show the true color effect. the color of the wet yarn is different from the final product.

Thorough review! Thanks! How about the cords? I have a set of a different brand of interchangeable knitting needles that have a plastic coated metal cord and the cord keeps breaking near the connection point on the needle and cord. How durable are the cords?

Hi, I want to paint on silk using these dyes. How much vinegar should I add to an 8% stock solution if I make 100ml of it by mixing 8 grams in 100 ml of water. Also should I use hot water to mix the dye or normal water will do? TIA

I want to buy the purple set that come in the case for my birthday, but it is $124. I want to know if they will break before I spend that kind of money. I don't usually use wood or plastic. I usually use metal because I am so paranoid of the needles breaking.

I’m curious why you wouldn’t just put the beaker on the scale and zero it out and add the powder to the beaker? Or zero out the scale with the jar of powder on it and measure a negative grams measurement as you spoon directly into the jar you’re going to store it in? Why can’t you measure into the jar and just shake it well to mix?

Why not just put the beaker on the scale and tare it, and measure the dye directly into the beaker? Seams like creating something to wash by using the lid and transferring the dye powder. Not to mention sending more dye particles floating and losing it in your stock solution.

Beautiful colour! Thank you for these videos! One question … If I choose to use vinegar instead of citric acid, how much would I need to use. Is it just equal amounts of citric acid to vinegar replacement?

Great video! Is there a way to use acid dye to paint a wool jacket using a brush or a sponge or similar? I was thinking of trying it and then hear it up with a steamer to set it. Would that work?

I am so glad to see a review from someone that has been using them for years. So often reviewers get it in the mail, knit a swatch and call it done. Durability over time is a big deal when it comes to the tools for any craft and you can't see what that will be it you don't have the time in using the items.
