I wish you would share what the finish yarn looks like each time. Then we have a better idea if we would like to mix the similar ones together. Good info for sure.

I am curious abt the temperature of your dye that you are adding to the hot trays and if the temperature difference can cause felting.

Another fun episode, Meg! I enjoy watching you in your dye studio, but it's always fun having a chat too! Your new mercerized (metcy, mercy me) base looks cool. I liked the spring too. Interested in the 'testing shawl.

How much citric acid do you use?
@megsandco Жыл бұрын
About a tablespoon. The exact amount will depend on your water pH and mineral content. I add until I am at a pH of ~3.5

The mercerized wool is very intriguing. It sounds fantastic. I am concerned about the biodegradable nylon though. Do you know what it is made from? I am highly allergic to soy including soy oil and have already had to give up acrylic and polyester because they are often sourced from soy. The video is wonderful. I enjoy watching you dye yarn.

I've really enjoyed your videos. And, I did take a kettle dyeing class at a local yarn dyer. It was fun! I love purples & pinks too. Can't wait to see the finished product. I looked in your shop. I'll look again next week. I'd probably make something simple like a Hitchhiker to just showcase all of the colors in the yarn.
@megsandco Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for watching! I ended up dying quite a few test colors and should have them listed in the shop this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion of a Hitchhiker for this yarn. I agree that it is a great pattern for letting speckled yarn shine.

Hi Meg and Todd! I love the light one and even more after my skeins arrived! Since you're considering adding the darker one to your permanent collection, I vote for the light one to be the LYS colorway. Selfishly, I already have the light one and can get the darker one later. 😊 Todd's opinion is valuable as he is an artist 😊

I like the one that has the most blues and mint green as LYS day choice and the one with most colors to be added as a permanent colorway.

I love watching you dye yarn! It is so hard to pick which one I like the best. I think the one that you did the yellow background first. I think it will be very unique.
@kkdavis825 Жыл бұрын
I think either would be a good option for LYS day, but I do agree the brighter one is really similar to your other two, so maybe it is best for LYS day & the dark one be in your everyday collection. I would like to see more mint in the brighter one & more purple in the darker one. 😁

I love both colors. I think the lighter brighter one is great for LYS Day because it screams pool weather is approaching. The darker one is a good all around color for so many things. I’d be happy with either.
