Your results with yarn blanks have inspired me! I have a large Addi, so I'll make my own. Thank you for the idea! 😁

@ChemKnitsTutorials 3 ай бұрын

You're very welcome! Making your own blanks is a great way to save on the pre-made blank costs. I used to do this a lot more frequently myself.

The layered leave no dye behind with the red pops is stunning! When we first saw it untwisted, it looked like when people add film camera light leak filters on their photos. The red glows!

Variables in dyeing adds to the fun. Dyeing big lots is not fun. These are beautiful mini skeins! I love listening to you think through your process. Thank you!

You're so welcome. I never know if I ramble too much but I hope that sharing the thoughts and how I may vary things will help others troubleshoot. Playing with color is so much fun!

Another great episode, and you don't 'babble'! I enjoy hearing your thoughts when you try to work out why the results turned out the way they did. I learn so much from you. I think the different yarn types in the same pot will add a level of unpredictability. The different fibre types will take the dye at different times and in different saturation levels, which will change the hue of what's left in the dye bath for the other fibre types ... and that will interact with where the hot spots are in the bath and so on and so on! But that's what makes dyeing so interesting : ) I had a thought about the experience you had when you were trying to reproduce a colour for a customer: does the acidity of your water supply change from time to time? Yet another variable lol!

@ChemKnitsTutorials 3 ай бұрын

The acidity does change from time to time, and this can change the way things bind and break, but usually doesn't infulence the final color very much. Usually!

Have you ever done a test to see what an “old” stock solution looks like when dyed, compared with a “freshly mixed” stock solution?

@ChemKnitsTutorials Ай бұрын

Side by side... no! I haven't done that. I can say for experience one time that I dyed a colorway, and then used the same dyestock to dye the same colorway months and months later and the color was WAY darker which surprised me. So that got me thinking that some dye must have crashed out of solution and therefore it was less concentrated on the bottom. But I haven't done something side by side - I'm also WAY better at

I made the last five minutes of the livestream. Now I’ve seen the rest - I love the results even though they’re not the same as your prototypes.

@ChemKnitsTutorials 3 ай бұрын

Thank you! I was so perplexed as I was dyeing since the colors looked different right away, but I'm glad sometiems things don't work perfectly for me.

@melaniecrochets 3 ай бұрын

I was wondering if them being heated sooner would change the outcome. You could make a dye stock & test cold set vs heat set.

@ChemKnitsTutorials 3 ай бұрын

Heat may have made a difference, but the color I showed for the scale up (The middle one) looked greener than I remembered the mini being at the start.

@davidhensley76 3 ай бұрын

Is there a wool/cotton blend you could dye? I imagine it would look heathered.

@ChemKnitsTutorials 3 ай бұрын

There are many wool/cotton or similar blends that I love to dye. They often do come out heathered. Here is one video that is super cool kzbin.info/www/bejne/poCrp2ptfcSogbc

Hello Rebecca, you use Peacock blue as a primary? The receipes are for 20 grams of yarn, is it right? Thanks for your video

@ChemKnitsTutorials 3 ай бұрын

I used Peacock and Caribbean blue from dharma as the primary blues. And each mini had 20 g of yarn, and 20 mL of our 1% stock solutions on them.

@serendipidus8482 3 ай бұрын

Weird mix of colours. Ive never seen such a narrow range come out of primary colours. Very interesting. Ive only seen the equal mix of three.

@ChemKnitsTutorials 3 ай бұрын

The range is super narrow because I had the two blues at opposite corners and there was no direct mixing of the yellow and pink without there also being some blues in the mix. I could have set this up a few different ways, but I was curious to see how this might turn out.

@serendipidus8482 3 ай бұрын

@@ChemKnitsTutorials yes i didn't realise thats what was happening at first I was staring at the thumbnail for ages and couldn't work it out. Lol! But you explained it really well. I used to have these colours as a kid..my moms actually I was only allowed them a few times... they were windsor and newton watercolours but we had cyan yellow and magenta and whatever way you mixed them they created a beautiful colour never muddy. To make a true yellow you needed a tiny bit of red in the yellow to make a true blue blue you had to put some red in the blue and to make red you had to out a bit of yellow in the pink. They took them off the market in the 90s and now the range has a ton of different colours instead ...I got edible printer and i played with the printer inks but they're not as true as the watercolours i had when i was a kid. I used to just spend hours making blobs of colours endlessly gratifying. I need to get some again to just play with. Its therapeutic to figure things like this out i find. Cant sort my life out but if i can put a rainbow together i feel like ive achieved something lol! Thanks for your reply! God bless.

I had my first experience of doing multiple mini skeins to workshop a colour before scaling it up, and personally what I struggled with was getting accurate results in the mini skeins. Since all the quantities are so much smaller, even a small shift of one measurement can change the colour proportion a lot! So I ended up tweaking a recipe that I can only deduce wasn’t actually the recipe that was used (even if it was the recipe I had followed) and got confusing and nonsensical results 😅 All because I’m too lazy to make stock solutions and my scale isn’t able to weigh such small amounts of dye accurately

@ChemKnitsTutorials 3 ай бұрын

I find that working on minis first helps me when it comes to depth of shade more than it does with color mixing. But oh how I love playing with them for mixing purposes. It gives a good starting point for the recipes for sure.
