I love when you do these dye pyramids. It shows how much you can do with very few colors.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Right?!? I'm always amazed with how these turn out.

[@Susi1406]

❤the colors! Definitely fun to see the beautiful color combinations and the differences in each. 🤩 Sooo pretty and satisfying to see the yarn in the dye. 😂

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@TheLyndz]

Oh My!! When you took out the three starting shades -- that entire set is TO DIE FOR! I love it so much! Those 12 would be a great fade set for a sweater!!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much!!!

[@airenesmiler6624]

This is the most cohesive of the triads, I'm loving the subtlety of the centre skeins. I tend to like purple and green more but the orange in there is like the spice in the meal.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

These colors turned out SO PRETTY!

[@sheilapollock-bowlin3887]

Your videos are so informative. By far the best to learn about dyeing. Keep up the good work. I love these triad experiments.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much, Sheila!

I love this episode. You can really see how the light value of each color affects the saturation level when blended. You were right… not using more of a lighter hue but using less of a darker hue gives a more balanced color range. For pastels, you have to be careful with yellows as well.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Yellow is always a hard one for sure. It gets overtaken so easily.

[@anntally7503]

These colors are SO stunning! I can't wait to see them.❤

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you!!

[@gretchentrumper9423]

I don't really know what I was expecting from this combination of colors, but it's definitely NOT what you ended up with! I am absolutely blown away by these colors! They're beautiful

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Right?!?! I was so surprised. Someone on Tik Tok replied to me about how to mix a brown and they said "green and orange, it's color theory" Yes it is color theory, but it isn't always enough, the proportions matter.

[@heidiclarke2333]

Love these colours, these colours were the felt tip pens I always used up first as a child well even now I don't choose bright clear colours.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Glad you like them!

[@SuzyEH]

So interesting. I would love to see close-up photos of the colors. They just look so intriguing.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Not in order or all together, but I do have some closeup images in my shop: www.etsy.com/listing/1391935247/set-of-5-miniskeins-of-dk-weight-yarn www.etsy.com/listing/1391934647/set-of-5-miniskeins-of-dk-weight-yarn www.etsy.com/listing/1377935308/set-of-5-miniskeins-of-dk-weight-yarn

Oooooh don't adjust them! I LOVE ❤️ them the way they are! Beautiful!!!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you!!

[@leahgroess5361]

There are a lot of fascinating results from this experiment! Looking at just the primary colors, the green actually feels paler to me, but it blends with the purple and overtakes the orange a lot. It's odd that the orange and green side is so green-leaning and the orange and purple side seems a lot more even. The midpoint between green and purple is such a gorgeous muted teal-leaning blue! I think one more reason for doing a triangle experiment like this is to see what sorts of colors you can get in many different ratios to see whether space-dyeing or a layered tonal will give a good range or end up as complete mud. I probably have the layered tonal in mind because you just released that video, but I think the tones you got in that one are pretty strongly suggested at here.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I absolutely love doing these to see how colors will blend together. It means that I'm less afraid of using the purple and green together because I know the combinations are so pretty.

[@MoDavison]

I love these swatches so much!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much!

[@frankoverman9543]

What great results. My wife sees Halloween. :)

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I see that, too!

[@danitshmueli5006]

Very beautiful

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much!

[@leslieambailey]

This is brilliant.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you!

[@rebeccaroediger2827]

Thank you 🫶🏻

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

You're welcome!

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

I think my favourite colour is just uo towards orange from purple, but the most interesting one is one down towards green from orange, it looks like maybe that broke a bit because I'm definitely seeing some orange in there and some green rather than a blend of the colours

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I think they broke a bit, too!

[@angieanderson6082]

This really is beautiful! Seeing the empty containers with just a hint of color makes me wonder if you’ve ever dyed pastels?

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Not often. I have a few videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpivlIp9gJxoiNE, kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX2uoaF4l8qCZ5I, kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXO2nXetiLybj8U They tend to not sell as well as more saturated colors.

Sou escrita em seu canal. Já assisti quase todos os vídeos. Sou do Brasil e gostaria que seus vídeos tenham legenda para todos idiomas. Beijos 😍

Thank you for watching my videos! Google will auto translate the captions from English to Portuguese. You can adjust this by turning on the Closed Captions then clicking on settings and then autotranslate. I know my video captions are not perfect so there are errors there even in English. I try to put all of the dyeing conditions in the video description. I hope this helps! (I'm going to try to auto-translate this into Portuguese

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Obrigado por assistir meus vídeos! O Google traduzirá automaticamente as legendas do inglês para o português. Você pode ajustar isso ativando as legendas ocultas, clicando em configurações e, em seguida, traduzindo automaticamente. Eu sei que as legendas dos meus vídeos não são perfeitas, então há erros até mesmo em inglês. Eu tento colocar todas as condições de tingimento na descrição do vídeo. Eu espero que isso ajude!

[@NicheCraftwithKassi]

So interesting as usual! What are you using for the small containers?

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

They're small 16 oz containers that are often used for take out or food delivery. I wash them and save them to use for ChemKnits. :D Upcycling for the win!

According to my notes, the perfect brown is 0.45% Blazing Orange plus 0.05% True Black on 100 grams of yarn. So, you would use 45 ml of orange and 5 ml of black, coming from 1% stock solution. Now my original goal was a burnt orange color, so I discovered the brown by accident by first dipping the yarn in 0.9% (90 ml) Blazing Orange and 0.05% (5 ml)True Black with no acid. So since the acid can shift the color, I would do a little testing to make sure. I wanted to record the brown color in general for safe keeping. So I do not know what to think. Acid at first? No acid at first? How about having some fun with colors plus a hair of black?....Let's be clear. Once I did the 0.9% BO + 0.05% TB with no acid, the dye was beautiful brown. Adding acid later on did not change the color. But I think whether or not I have acid in the pot or not, 0.45% BO + 0.05% TB should get the brown again, but I can't remember. What I do remember is that to get my Burnt Orange Color, I had to have vinegar in the dye water first. So when I dyed the next skein in the same pot of water, the water already had vinegar. The skein turned Burnt Orange, even though the first skein in clean (no vinegar) water turned a beautiful, gorgeous brown.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I do remember that mixing my orange with black gave a lot of browns when I was dyeing a muted rainbow fade set.

[@candyquilt]

If the orange (or yellow) is so easily overtaken in a triad, could you just make a 2% solution of it instead of a 1%. Might be an interesting experiment.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

You absolutely could double the yellow/orange, but part of the benefit of these videos is that you learn about the ratios between the colors and the colors those create. It is easier for me to go back and reference the mixing videos if i know the colors are all mixed with similar ratios.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

If I was going to make a fade set - I would double the orange probably.

[@davidhensley76]

Did somebody say there's going to be self-striping sock yarn dyed with these orange, green & purple?

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

This would be a fun combination!
