This was just the video I needed for inspiration! I dyed some 100% silk and was not getting it to set! Now I am steam setting it in a bag! Thanks!

LOL great timing, I did an overdye project last week where I just dumped some grey wool/acrylic blend (I guess they'd be cakes?) into a stock pot of hot dye and then left it overnight. My two problems have been rinsing and drying, I squeezed things as best I could and sat them in a tray with a fan blowing on them but it took a whole week to dry the middles, and now I'm rewinding them (new skill, now to make a yarn cake with a paper towel tube). The wool was 14% wool and I tested three RIT colours (two purples and a blue) and some purpleTintex that's been in the basement for 20 years. The Tintex seemed to affect the yarn most so I went with it. And then poured all the test dye together and tie-dyed white cotton undies in it, my favourite yarn mop equivalent! I have a very faded handmade shirt I'd dyed in 2021 that I did up with elastics and popped into the leftover dyepot once I took the yarn out and reheated it to soak up the residual dye, which it mostly did. Rinsing it was not a lot of fun and I never did get the water to run completely clear (which I'm sure was a mistake) and I'll have to wash and rinse the finished whatever I make with it because I sat the cakes on an already tie-dyed tshirt and a bleach-damaged towel and there was some colour transfer. And I wrecked the cakes with constant turning and flofling in front of the fan, but everything's now finally dry. I've got some neat tonal stuff going on but I think the pink might be the fugitive part that I'll llose when I do a final wash, but I'm really happy with the resulting balls of wool I'm rewinding! I think if I ever do this again I'm going to need to declare one of my salad spinners to be dye-only, as that was way too long to dry... I kinda feel like teal or black would be neat with lilac lurex yarn. I kind of wonder what it would look like to do a baggie job but smaller bag with the balls standing on their ends so the colour starts on one end and fades up to nothing on the other end.

I love how the yarn turned out. It would be cool to skein the yarn first, then dye saturated colors. My favorite color ways are variegated ones but you always pick great combinations.

@ChemKnitsTutorials Ай бұрын

I forget why I decided to dye these ones as balls of yarn. I've skeined this yarn in the past. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZuKrNN_prSqYHU.html

@mistyfan69 Ай бұрын

They both are beautiful, I prefer the more purple one.

@ChemKnitsTutorials Ай бұрын

It is fun when I get results where there is clearly some variation between the skeins dyed at the same time

Idea for the other skeins galaxy colorway, you could use the same method, cyan on one end magenta on the other and dark blue/purple/black in the middle.

@ChemKnitsTutorials Ай бұрын

Ooooo!!!!

@sarahadams6881 Ай бұрын

The liquid you pour in the bag, is that just water? Colours are lovely!

@ooohlaa13 Ай бұрын

4T white vinegar 300 ml hot tap water i think she said

@sarahadams6881 Ай бұрын

Thank you, I was watching with my toddler so was distracted 😅

@ChemKnitsTutorials Ай бұрын

Yes, 4 T white vinegar + hot tap water (300 mL total) . When I measure I try to put the amounts down in the video description. (mostly in case I want to recreate something in the future! But it can be helpful to others, too.)

@@ChemKnitsTutorials thank you so much. I would like to get into dyeing and this looks really easy to do with your demonstration 😁
