The Basics Of Hand Dyed Yarn (Part 2 Section 1) - DYE

[@psdumas]

Autumn, you do a wonderful job actually explaining the process, and WHY you actually do something. The reason why. I love watching and learning. Thanks for spending the time. Pat, at the NJ Shore.

[@EssenceofAutumnYarn]

You are welcome and thank you so much for watching.

[@prosperyarn6665]

love this! you are so good! We rinse dye powder off our equipment into jars so no dye goes into the water system. When the jars gets dark (full of dyes) we pour them onto skeins and create 'jar skeins" or one of a kind colourways. These have become highly sought after colourways, and keep our New Zealand waterways clean.

[@EssenceofAutumnYarn]

That is awesome!

[@sherryberret9746]

[@rahmarahmatullah5868]

Hello. Hope you're fine, thank you for the time you always take to explain. Please I have a question it is heat and acid that stick the colour to the yarn if I understood well, if I want to tie a silk scarf for example will I heat it first before pouring the powder colour or liquid into it to stick the colour ? With the acid of course

[@EssenceofAutumnYarn]

Yes you got it. You can watch my video on silk scarves to get an idea of how I do it. Link below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHysdaScrZl7ick

[@suecinshei6720]

I love your videos. Could you tell me the vinegar /water ratio please? Or is it the same as the citric acid. Thanks for sharing🙃

[@EssenceofAutumnYarn]

If for example I needed to use a cup of citric acid solution and had to substitute with vinegar I would just use the same amount of vinegar straight from the jug, not diluted with water.

[@rvr6101]

Thank you so much for making these videos, they have been super helpful! I was wondering what primary colors you use from Dharma as your yr basic Red blue and yellow. Do you get warm and cool of each? TIA

[@EssenceofAutumnYarn]

I have so many dyes. I do believe I have all of their dyes marked as primaries. I don't pay attention to warm and cool colours, I just go with my gut and put together what looks good to me.

[@sopranoxpiano3855]

I have a question! How long do you have your dye pots soak up the dye when doing immersion dying for solid colours, after adding the acid? Do you just keep it hot until there is no more dye in the water?

[@EssenceofAutumnYarn]

After the dye has been absorbed the colour also needs time to heat set. The dye company you use will give recommended set times so I suggest following that. Since I sell the yarn I need to be a bit extra so I usually heat set for a minimum of 5 hrs. My yarn is set with steam so I can leave it for long periods of time without fear of scorching it.

[@briancharlebois3691]

Your giving all your trade secrets away. 🤫

[@EssenceofAutumnYarn]

Not really, this information can be found in any book about dyeing.

[@fralou1]

Hello Sheryl. I’ve asked a few dyers a question about dharma dyes, however none use dharma, then while researching you I remember you use dharma dyes. I was given a recipe for a colour I really like, however I can’t get this colour. It’s dharma 482 Delphinium Blue. My question to you is, does jacquard or any other make of dyes, have a colour that would be a replacement? I looked everywhere in Canada for dharma. None. Thank you

[@EssenceofAutumnYarn]

If you contact Dharma they may be able to suggest a dye that would work for you.

[@fralou1]

Thank you
