I love the glazee and glazer terms 😂 Would love to see this as maybe a set of pastel mini skeins (hyacinth, pink, yellow, peach, aqua, blue) all glazed in this purple!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Ooooooo!!!

[@Thompsett]

I love your enthusiasm, it makes me smile and make my day better 🦊🦊

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much!!

[@Pnwmommaof3]

Love love glazing! These colors are the complete Chemknits trademark look!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

They are!!!

[@NancyLiedel]

The ONE long strand!!!!! I turn into, "The Scream!" Lol

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I HATE it when that happens. I'm so glad that it re-ordered itself. I get so stressed

[@AndiNewtonian]

Same! It is soooooooo frustrating!

[@angieanderson6082]

Can’t go wrong with blues and purples! I’d love to see a pink glazed next. 😊

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I need to do that again 100%.

[@Kimmy_J.]

It came out lovely! Super pretty in person 😊💜

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I'm so glad you like it!!!

[@gaylescovel7308]

Oooo, i really like the glazing❣❣❣

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Me too!!

[@marie-evelajoie-corriveau3234]

Oouh ! Purple over brown sounds lovely !

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I don't know why this one has me so excited. I just did some DOS of pecan brown, and that would be so pretty with purple.

[@tsoonklah]

What I do is make a small amount of dye stock, thicken it a little to it settles, don’t stir the dye bath after adding the yarn. I also use an old Tlingit method that works really well but I’m not sure if I’d be allowed to share it but -wink- hope I can find an email address for you lol.

[@breakmydreams]

Those are pretty 🥰

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you!

[@claretrevor8111]

Love this! I want to try this with a Sand Dune base with purple!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I was just saying above that I should use pecan brown at a low DOS with a purple glaze. :D (Super similar to sand dune)

[@claretrevor8111]

@@ChemKnitsTutorials Totally!!!!

[@cindyfrye3026]

I finally decided on my yarn base and put in my first order. I am getting the spring mini set. It was so much fun watching the last series.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

YAY! Thank you so much, Cindy!

[@gaylescovel7308]

Wait. What? She takes orders from people like us to sell to?

[@loue6563]

Just beautiful! I wasn’t sure it would turn out this good. Will have to try this.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you!

[@etm567]

Maybe the yarn felted? That has happened to me when the temperature changed quickly.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

The yarn wasn't felted here. Sometimes it gets snagged or bunched at one end and then I have to just snap it back into place.

[@newmoonjlp]

I'm wondering about the royal purple over that new neon blue you've been testing 👀

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Unfortunately adding red pigments to blacklight blue will kill the fluorescence. I have a video all about this dye coming out on Tuesday (sponsored by Jacquard! Super exciting!) I do plan to try to mix it with reds to see how that quenching happens at a later time.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Jacquard is sending me some more of it. I still have a few grams of my orginal sample, but I have so many things I want to do with it!

[@newmoonjlp]

@@ChemKnitsTutorials fascinating! Science is weird lol

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

@@newmoonjlp It sure is!

[@NancyLiedel]

I'm not a big, "glazer," but you're making me want to try. Not with black. I glaze with all the blacks. I have...lemme think....between me and acid dyes...10 of them!! You should get, me cotton black, and speckle. So many colors! 3:28 Edit, hot plate with stir bar????? There is a chemists supply in Ann Arbor, where two of my kids live. 28 miles and I'm planning to visit them and hit my chemistry supply! Edit 2, I only glaze 100 grams at a time, in my steam panels, I use 6 steam pans for my dyeing in a steamer, like a restaurant. 3" H2O + acid. Not like I'm a great glazer, again.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I need to do more cotton dyeing. I keep meaning to and then it's been a while and I haven't done it.
