the red came from the blue violet

I think the yarn came out pretty. Speckling is not easy for me yet.

Great spiral!

I have to say I am also not a huge fan of blue and orange together, I was way skeptical 🤣 but they came out AWESOME! Good job!

Oooo

O

Very cool!

Lovely! Need to try this sometime :)

Is fibre reactive similar to work with to acid dye?

You can do things with cables in crochet, made up of post-stitches and crossing stitches!

I'm surprised that the orange parts turned black instead of brown. I have overdyed orange before with black and the result was brown. Maybe it was the amount of black dye you used. Anyway, a perfect Halloween yarn! Thanks for the experiment.

I love how this turned out! 😍 It's definitely something I'm going to try. And I'd be really interested in seeing a video of the idea you mentioned.

❤This was so much fun !😊 I love the colors and I could adjusted to my wardrobe 😊

❤ so lovely! I love the end product 😊

Very beautiful result 💓

awesome video! love the idea to dye socks. I’ve only ever dyed yarn! i want to try! also, i was thinking: the pattern you like that you’re unsure how you achieved, i think it’s where the dye sprinkled around the ice cubes instead of melting on top of them!! then as the cubes melt more of the dye would be pooled up around there. so i’d say arrange the cubes in a cool way and see if that does it?

Thank you! I have tried this and it works great!

Fascinating! I have not used fibre reactive dyes on protein yarns, only acid based dyes. My experience with acid ones on protein yarns is that the magenta-ish dye is really slow/reluctant to strike and bleeds and bleeds and cyan is also a bit slow and a bit of a bleeder too - but not as bad as the magenta. Are cyan and magenta fibre reactive dyes like that too on protein yarns? My thinking is that maybe the dye in your dye bath might have broken anyway just because you were using protein fibres. Just curious and taking a wild guess lol : )

And I DO notice that the color does bind differently( basically whatever the darker color is tends to bind first, leaving the lighter shades behind on subsequent skeins) when dye is mixed with soda ash, which I think is interesting and I'm guessing must have something to do with the reaction happening with the acid and basic ingredients. No real idea though 🤷🤣 Those came out gorgeous though!

Also, super excited that you decided to try this! I've never seen anyone else do it besides myself🤣

So I don't know exactly why that happens but I've had a similar experience with particularly that shade of blue come out of my wools when using fiber reactive dyes, even when the dye is fresh and not mixed with soda ash. The rest of the color does bind, but for whatever reason that super bright turquoise seems to linger in the pan and come out when I'm washing. I've always been able to get the water to run clear, except on my roving, which I'm too scared to really wash 😅

Such a beautiful blue <3

Looks fab! Thanks for the video 😊

Great tutorial 😊. Thank you.

Id love to know what other flavours you've done in the past?

Looks like variegated.

That's lovely and I love the brown and the violet together.

The blue speckles especially are stunning! I think you did the perfect amount.

Love how that turned out!

I love it

You may have already learned this but all fiber reactive dyes that aren't pure colors can split when doing a direct powder application like this regardless of what company you get the dye from. The splitting happens because the dye is a blend of colors instead of being a pure or single color dye. The farther apart the component colors are on the color wheel the more interesting and obvious the split will be. Both Dharma and Pro Chemical and Dye now have ice dyeing swatches for their procion mx dyes which give an idea of what to expect in color splits.

For speckling, try mixing a small amount of the dye with a small amount of citric acid, and then sprinkling with fingers. This gives a more consistent amount of sprinkles on the yarn. Loved the way this color broke.

I've never thought of dyeing rolags! I will need to experiment with this as well, love your videos you always get such gorgeous and vibrant results. Thank you for sharing your fibre fun times 😊

I like how your yarn turned out, it's very witchy! I'm new to dyeing and I like the idea of dyeing small amounts of yarn instead of a full skein.

Love the colours and the speckles! I dye a lot of wool and, just like a lot of people in the knitting community, adore this little dots! Thank you for sharing🙏🏻

We are having a heat wave here in Canada, 38 forecast for today🥵🥵🥵 40 for a few days coming up!

Cool. Looks delicious with the noodles cooking

So nice! Love it!❤

Now what? you have to knit/crochet it?

Unless you are terminally ill, I hope you mean "dyeing" when coloring your daughter's fabric. 😂

Do you use hot water or cold water as you use your dyes?

You make it so good, and this is real Art! Just do it! Awseome!❤

From Gerry- The purple and mint look beautiful together. Surprises are such fun. God bless.

So so sooooo much fun! Why are you so out of breathe? I hope you are well!

This is lovely. Makes me think of mother of pearl.

Its such a lovely colour. You are so inspiring 💕

What’s the smell like when you simmer the bath inside?

It's so beautiful, what will you make with it?

Next time you dot his, you may get darker colors, that don't wash out as much, if you soak them in the soda ash first. You'll have to try that and then see if there is much of a difference. Loved these though.

I thought you were on top of your carpet! Haha
