I am so pleased to have seen this video drop into my in box. I’ve followed you for years, and love love these series - so excited to crawl into bed tonight and watch it - thank you Rebecca for you consistent content and education 🤗

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

You're so welcome! There will be a new SMSMS video tonight at 8:30 Eastern Time!

[@lesliethurman7717]

So excited for SMSMS! Love the colors. We were going thru some of my mother in law’s stuff and found some old egg dying packs. My sister in law thought I was nuts for wanting them. Little did she know 😂

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

That's amazing!

[@jadeintheparke1]

Paper towel and no yarn mop? Quelle shock! Love these colors!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

No yarn mop felt wrong this night for sure!

[@kaytiej8311]

Loved this. The colours are gorgeous. I have found bath tablets here in Australia but they are only in 3 colours. So mixing is experimental!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Mixing would be fun! I'm assuming you have a red yellow and blue (or maybe a pink)

[@louisalowry6229]

Red 33 is a synthetic petroleum dye used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Seems to give a lovely hue.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

The color is pretty, not as vibrant as the other reds we're used to, though.

[@renatemelaniefaber-vdveen2622]

very nice colors so rainbowie

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you!

[@sherryhooks]

this was fun

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you!!

[@davidhensley76]

I was walking my evening miles and missed it. Was there any green? 😊

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Rewatch and see! ;) 💚💚💚

[@jtarmstrong1234]

Why is lactose and sorbitol in food dye? I get that the tablets are for eggs, but why sweeten the dye? (I can't find a good answer on google because of the search terms I'm using.)

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

My best guess is to help with the consistancy of the dry tablet, maybe so it isn't very crumbly? But I honestly have no idea. I imagine the life of a food scientist would be pretty fun.
