[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

There are only a couple of the SMSMS yarn sets left that have all of the fun extras - including the first ever ChemKnits enamel pin! www.etsy.com/shop/chemknitscreations/?etsrc=sdt&section_id=37643062

Perfect experiment to set the containers outside in the sun to heat set.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I will likely play with them this summer. :D I'm surprised how fast things have been striking at room temperature (in the winter

[@cheskydivision]

Love that yak colors, those are the shades I’m usually drawn to.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

That yak is sooo awesome.

[@MeredithSargent]

I DIG the neon on the yak. very cool

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much! I adore the yak base in just about everything I dye on it!

[@alib8758]

Those color transfer streaks really are pretty. it really adds a fun touch to the set

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I think they're super pretty on the silk, I have no idea if I could do this in person. I haven't seen this much transfer ever.

[@sidmelucci3675]

That Yak (at the 5% DOS) came out absolutely gorgeous. I was drooling all over my cell phone screen!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Tiny correction - it is a 0.5% DOS. I shudder to think how a 5% dos would bleed!

[@sidmelucci3675]

@@ChemKnitsTutorials - Ooops!

[@TheLyndz]

My word, who knew I'd like the look of that yak soo much! I really love this video. It would make color mixing so much easier. You can easily see where you might want more of a color. I kind of wish you also had a 1% on the green and yellow, since they are less saturated, although, I think the yellow will still be fairly close since it is so bright. These types of videos are truly so helpful in understanding how quickly a color may fall off or fall out (like the blue falling out of the purple).

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

The blues falling out of the purple and green were the most surprising to me! Maybe because those pigments are so minor compared to the pink/yellow? I'm not sure!

[@melaniecrochets]

I was really hoping you would group the colors as gradients. So fun.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I think that those gradient sets are STUNNING, too. And I'd happily dye up some of those for sets. Since the theme was painting rainbows, I figured that someone might be sad if they ended up with a single color. ;)

[@melaniecrochets]

@@ChemKnitsTutorials oh ya, duh. Multitasking watching & dreaming of yarn while all chaos breaks loose in our work systems 🤪

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

@@melaniecrochets Normally I do have a debate about grouping by rows or columns, so this wasn't a stretch!

[@ilaria298]

Neon exhaust really easy especially at lower colour depth.. I dye nothing but neon pastels and they are almost holographic at the lowest depth

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I've done super pastel variegated yarn before, but I normally go for brighter colors.

[@JHookCrochet]

Even with the tiny calculation difference, the colors all look great. I actually kind of like the effect it had on the Yak base. They don't look neon, but they are soooo beautiful.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I love how it turned out! The pastel on the yak wasn't so great, but I'm glad I tried it to show!

[@funbrillo]

Wonderful video.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you very much!

[@funbrillo]

Wonderful video!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you very much!

[@cherylshook7002]

Oh my goodness! These yarns are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for showing up some more of your many talents

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

You are so welcome!

[@angieanderson6082]

This was so fun!! 🌈 ❤️

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much!

[@lgassin]

Very cool! I wonder what the deal is with blue at the lowest DOS...not only did the purple get pinker and the green - more yellow, even the Frozen at the low DOS had a greenish case (or so it seemed on my monitor!).

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

That could have been the lighting, I think in person it didn't feel greenish to me. But now that I'm thinking about it... Frozen does have a mix of different of pigments but Dharma's website doesn't say what they are. Bummer! I would have loved to know.

[@kimberlyhernandez6558]

This is gorgeous!!! You have these in a set?

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I have one "imperfect" silk set left from this video www.etsy.com/listing/1224639644/imperfect-set-of-6-miniskeins-of-sock but I also have some other rainbow tonal sets in the shop right now. www.etsy.com/shop/chemknitscreations/?etsrc=sdt&section_id=23809244

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I've already used this information for some other videos coming up!

[@NancyLiedel]

Carribeann Blue is Wash fast and Jacquard turquoise. There is a difference in the...particle size, but it's all the same pure dye. How do I know? I have all three and I'm set for life. I'm also a foodie.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I haven't looked into the ingredients. I know that Dharma Turquoise is different from Jacquard turquoise. I tend to avoid the dharma one now.

[@NancyLiedel]

@@ChemKnitsTutorials I didn't know that about, Caribbean Blue!" I get that from Pro Chem. However, True Turquoise, is a live of mine. I feel about it, like you about Frozen Blue.

[@foxyarn400]

hello. tell me please. what is the volume of the cups. Thank you

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I think they're 16 oz. (Since they're recycled I don't know for sure - but they fit more than 1 cup of liquid)
