Space Dyeing Sock Yarn with Random Leftover Dyes

[@muddblood2172]

Been binge watching your videos and it is so soothing and satisfying 😍 Now I am inspired to try my hand at it! Thanks for sharing!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@chocolate116m6]

That is a stunning hank of yarn. I agree that it is sad that is is not something that can be done again. But it is gorgeous.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Rebekah M Thank you! I really love this one so much. :)

[@Aromagirl70]

Wow!!! Loved watching this orocess, fascinating!

[@sabbya.8112]

I also love all your clips. Your chirpy nature is addictive . Today i dyed my first sock yarn. With acid dyes . They turned out great. I have family that is interested in joining in as well . 😁 my favourite was crimson red with teal speckles.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Crimson with teal speckles sounds STUNNING.

[@katrinas1307]

That's just gorgeous! Another one that I'd love to see knitted up!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I hope to be starting on this one soon. I've been researching patterns and am close to deciding on one to do. :)

[@katrinas1307]

Please share when you do!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Absolutely!

[@amandakirk1348]

Well I know what I'm doing with all my left over dye lol, absolutely gorgeous limited edition yarn!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Woohoo! I'm starting a whole playlist for these leftover yarns that I'm dyeing. :)

[@amandakirk1348]

ChemKnits Tutorials I can't wait! :)

yikes this is my fave yarn I think, and normally I am not a blue person, but this is pure art .

Thank you, Barbara!!

Hi ! I'm Brazilian and I love your videos .. I would like to know how you twist the crochet line at the end ?! I tried to do it here but I can't. do you have a video showing you winding the wire after it's all painted?!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Here is a small example of how I twist up a skein kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqcoY2QqsSJadE I hope it helps. (The video is SUPER old - I'm not sure if I have a more recent dedicated one)

[@carolcorcoran9643]

This sure is a beauty!!! You should try sometime to recreate even though it was left overs.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I kept this yarn for myself. ;)

[@carolcorcoran9643]

@@ChemKnitsTutorials I don't blame you at all...let's know what it becomes or is that the shawl you made

@@carolcorcoran9643 this is the shawl I made that I showed off in some recent videos. 😍

It’s gorgeous they should have kits out their to dye yarn! Now that would be cool!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

It would!

I only have one word for this yarn....gorgeous!!! Amazing video, Rebecca!!! Happy Dying from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️Marie

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I have already started knitting with this one. I will share the finished project when I'm done. :)

[@annetteabbott5612]

@@ChemKnitsTutorials can't wait to see it!!! I'm in love with all of your yarns you have made!

[@TodayImMaking]

So pretty! I'd be tempted to buy it if it was in your Etsy shop. I can't wait to get the yarn I ordered from you - USPS says it is supposed to be delivered tomorrow - yay!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

This one I had to keep for myself. ;) I hope to start knitting with it later this weekend. I just have to finish picking out the pattern. And hurrah for the yarn!!! I hope you love it as much as I do!

[@dawnamorrell8084]

Your yarn turned out beautiful and if this is the one you mentioned in your "broken foot" video; I think it would look stunning as a shawl or shawlette possibly mixed with white...

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I hadn't thought about adding some more white into the mix. Yes is the one I mentioned in the broken foot video. ;)

[@tinabrenning7233]

Love the colors!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much, Tina!

[@MarieH528]

Very Pretty Yarn! Thanks!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you! I love this one SO MUCH.

[@gymnart]

So this was all from left over food coloring? Looks fascinating to try.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

It was! I had saved the food coloring that had been on measuring spoons, the bottom of cups, and unused over a few different dyeing videos and got these two mixtures. :)

[@jkabholat]

Rebecca I have recently watched a couple of videos on shibori dying and was wondering if you could do it with maybe your silk scarves or sock blanks or t shirts like when you tie dye? It is really a pretty technique.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I have done a few things that are shibori-esque in terms of folding and wrapping up fabrics. I would love to explore this more in the future, though.

[@laurelwolfe3615]

That yarn is gorgeous! How do you collect the left over dyes? All I can think of is swishing the spoons in the cup of leftovers or using the leftover liquid to rinse the cups. So much inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Sometimes there was literal dye in a squeeze bottle that I had mixed for another project. Or the ends off the spoons and bottoms of the cups. I like to try to save it all for some magic. I have a feeling that this had a lot of black, blue and maybe some purples in it.

[@barnabymortimer]

Gorgeous!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you! I am so in love with this one.

[@ooohlaa13]

You were close to planning to knit this, did you get to start it yet, it is so lovely.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I did! I did the antartakis shawl. I have a few photos on my ravelry and am looking for some more.

I'm chemknitsblog on rav. I just added some more photos to the project.

How do you know how to mix the leftover dyes together?

I don't really. I just go for it.

Beautiful

[@eleanorchurchill5800]

Hey! I love this tutorial. I am looking to try and dye macrame rope using this method, is this possible? Would I have to use a particular ply? Does it just need to be single twisted rope? Thanks x

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Unfortunately I think most macreme rope is cotton based, right? Food coloring cannot be used to dye cotton - you'll want tie dye or fiber reactive dyes for that. I'm sorry that this won't work! Here are some cotton techniques: kzbin.info/aero/PLFvm3Bz7dhaWgsthkBEafNoljTWJLn5cY

jackie bholat yes, it needs to be rescheduled but I can't edit it from my phone. Minor medical emergency. :(

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

jackie bholat I released this video early to try to make up for the missed stream. :(

Thank you, Jackie. I broke my toe yesterday and spent the whole morning at the specalist. Thankfully I should heal just fine and I now have a boot.
