This is a technique I've only ever seen done with fabric but I wanted to try it with yarn. So I cut off the bottom of a 2 litre plastic bottle and loaded in the yarn, acid dyes and ice, using the dye over ice method. And of course, there was an extra skein of yarn underneath the suspended bottle so not to waste any dye that dripped out of the bottle. After the ice melted, I steam set the yarn in bottle and added a bit more dye to the extra skein in a low immersion set up.
Featured in this tutorial:
Yarn: 2 x 100g Superwash Merino in DK

All equipment (pots/spoons/jars etc) used in this video is dedicated for dyeing.

I have a monthly yarn subscription that can be purchased through my Patreon: / fromthecauldron Each month you'll receive 100g of yarn in your chosen weight dyed in a mystery colourway and some goodies made by other small businesses. Another perk for patreons is they get early access to the video where I dye that month's yarn and they get to vote for next month's theme.
You can support me another way by buying me a coffee! Proceeds from buy me a coffee will enable me to invest in equipment and dyes so I can produce more educational videos: www.buymeacoffee.com/fromthec...
