Finally someone that swatches the final sceins! Thank you! I always wonder how it will work up in knitting or crochet. You really made my day!

[@LastMinuteLaura]

Glad it was helpful! It was my first time trying it, so I will continue moving forward!

I agree that seeing the yarn swatched up adds something nice, I enjoy seeing how the colors develop on fabric. These turned out really cool. I absolutely get the vibe of an autumn hike, sunlight dappling a forest floor where little flowers and mushrooms grow.

I love the swatches ❤️ I'm dyeing yarn for the first time today! Not natural dyes, using the dry Rit dye and going to speckle some Angel/01 baby yarn by Yarn Bee!! I spent 15 minutes last night turning it back into a hank from a skien lol

[@leoniecochrane3108]

Did you make your cropped sweater with your most beautiful yarn? Was the 2 skeins enough. Loved the swatch to see how beautiful it worked up. I'm needing more food coloring 😊

[@JemMellor]

Thank you so much for sharing g this! You've inspired me to give this a go, I'm so excited! I absolutely loved the swatch at the end so please do this in future videos! I'd love to know, if knitted up into a wearable, how does it hold up once it's been washed? :)

[@dahlia8870]

Yes, it’s great to see the yarn being used. When you rinse it, do you just use water? Anything to set the dye? Thank you

[@LastMinuteLaura]

I just rinsed it in water. The dye was set in the dye pot when we added vinegar! Thanks for watching :)

[@willowmoon7173]

Great video, will this work with wool roving for wet felting?

[@emilyweeksstudio]

i for one really get a lot out of seeing the yarn worked up! i also had a question, b/c i might try dyeing with food coloring: does yarn that is already dyed need to be scoured? i have some red yarn that i bought that i would like to overdye for some color variegation. i also assume it will need to be mordanted.

[@jamiegibson5903]

Where do you get the white yarn?

[@LastMinuteLaura]

for this one it was knitpicks merino style :) I often get my white yarn from knitpicks, or briggs and little though
