I always learn something new. So beautiful. I just ordered my first sock blank and cannot wait to start.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Have fun!

I have a thrifted sweater that I bought to reclaim the yarn, and because it's white I disassembled it but haven't unraveled it yet so I essentially have a bunch of blanks! I'm not sure what direction I want to go with it, but this is very inspiring.

I did a thrifted cream sweater with Apple Green and I’m so happy with the result as the resist gives it so much character and variation. Whatever you choose to do have fun!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Oh this is so exciting!

[@feltlikeitbydebs]

Inspiring as always. Great tutorial many thanks.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much!

Those were cool. I kind of feel like your yarn mop would have a lovely spring robin egg thing if you were to speckle it?

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Oh that would be so pretty!

I had an idea for a new colorway: If you take one of these sock blanks (don't tie it into a tube), lay it flat on the table and starting at a narrow end, start rolling it up like a yoga mat. Then once it's completely rolled up, add a few zip ties for resist along the length of the roll and then dunk into a dye-bath. I would be so curious to see how the zip-tie resists pairs with the resist from the knit weave itself. Maybe like a snowstorm kind of pattern once it's unraveled?

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I love this idea!

I folded up a blank once and dyed it in a tube, but it wasn't rounded it was more flat. This was also years and years ago. Maybe in one of the "sock blank special" playlists.

THank you!

I wonder how it would look to dye a normal doughnut, then unroll it (wash let dry, etc) then roll it up from the other end and dye in a different color? Like dye it pink then dye it yellow (or any other combo that combines well?).

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

OOOO love this suggestion!
