Cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate you doing knit/ crochet swatches! So few creators do that but it is wonderful to see how things actually work up in a fabric!
So interesting how the different dye molecules were pulled out separately... Ooh, it would be so interesting to mix several dyes into one color and then put it with a fiber that makes the colors split and see if it comes out muddy-ugly, muddy-pretty, or not muddy at all. I might have to try it, I think it would be so good on silk. Not sure I still have undyed silk roving though... It's just so good to dye and spin. 😂
The Restrain !!! I felt the pain 😝!! Really fab experiment . The dark wool and the silk delicious . The fauxgora very interesting ,, Did you say nylon mix? The rambolet was next to it right? Slower uptake seems a likely answer but also wonder if the nylon got too hot maybe and released other elements into the mix? I love how one experiment can lead to others .. and more unsettled sleeps 😂. Fab !
It was so hard to stick to the plan! Lol. Yes the fauxgora was next to the ramboullet and it is nylon. I'll have to keep that in mind. Good suggestion.
Great video, I’ve never dyed so thank you for all the info. I’m getting my 1st spinning wheel at the end of November, been using a drop spindle up to now. Thank you again.
I loved this experiment! I totally agree with you about the dye striking to the superwash/merino first, leaving less for the other braids. In addition, I think the red probably struck a bit sooner than the blue on that fibre, cos the yak-silk and silk look slightly bluer. I suspect the fauxgora and rambouillet are much slower to dye than the others are, and all they got were the leftovers. Also maybe that red dye has yellow in it? Fantastic experiment ... and that silk is so fab 👌
It was fun I wasn't completely expecting. I knew the different fibers would dye differently but not like that lol. Good ideas on why. I could spend forever trying to figure it out.
i felt the strain of your desire to poke it. i too wanted to poke it. it wanted to be poked. your resistance was impressive, because i most definitely would have poked (and re-poked) it! serious question... what is the fiber content of that fauxgora? i've been playing around with dyeing (wool-free) polyamide/cotton blend yarns, and that polyamide stuff takes up acid dyes with the richness and sheen of the best silks. you can get some pretty interesting results, if there's enough polyamide in the blend. i was hoping the fauxgora would behave the same way. as for the rambouillet... i really love that breed for the loft and bounce it brings to yarns, but it does tend to mute the color of dyes, resulting in that chalky pastel appearance. maybe blend that with some silk to get a bit more light reflecting from the surface of the rambouillet, like it does with the yak/silk you dyed. that is stunning with the silk practically shining color out of that blend, and the spun sample gets the imagination going.
The poking is a serious thing and I don't know how i resisted lol. The fauxgora is a nylon as far as I know. I keep planning to blend it but I get to excited and just spin it lol.
Hi Tamsin! I love seeing the different results. All fibers are not created equally. Even wool from the same animal will dye differently, since different areas have different amounts of lanolin or even shades of colors. Some of my sheep have 'pure' white and some have tones of cream and others are blended with 'white' and black and grey. It's always fun to experiment and I love it! Thank you for the fun videos always! Take good care! ❤
@sallystevens2947 so glad you enjoy! I'm endlessly fascinated by how fibers dye and i could spend years just experimenting. Wait...i have spent years lol.

@azlynarnett1793 I've only started doing it all the time lately because people really like it and I've found i like seeing the results too.
What a great video. 🥰 love it 😻
It was fun. Glad you enjoyed it.

@micahmilne we have to try all the things! I'll put that on the list of future experiments. It sounds fun!
Here for the weird and loving it!💜💜💜
Yay! Weirdos unite!
@@bffiberarts I have such an urge to reach through the screen and make an art batt with all those beautiful samples!🤩😍
@@beelady3919 that could be fun too. So many ideas.
Awesome experiment! Thanks for sharing.. 🤗 Love all your content… so real life!
Aww thanks. I just feel like I'm visiting with friends when I'm filming and we're playing around.
I love the pure silk. It's like got a touch of Mother of Pearl.
@@JDiamondW1 it came out so pretty. I love it.
Definitely a fascinating experiment. It’s so interesting how there can be so much variation from the one dye bath. My favourite is the silk too. 😊
Just shows that just because you don't like the color on one fiber doesn't mean it won't be entirely different on another. Just try it!
What an awesome experiment! I'm amazed at how little took up in the ramboullet. Love your videos! I was talking right along. Don't poke! Lol
Resisting the poking is so hard! Lol. It's up there with not adding more dye.
Very interesting experiment. I really love how the yak turned out.
Yak/ silk is so my favorite blend. Always turns out amazing.
Very interesting experiment. Love how the silk came out. You are so much fun ❤
@sandybrown1439 aww thanks! I'm just being myself.
@bffiberarts that's why I love having you for a bestie. 😁
@@sandybrown1439 always
💜💜💜
Love the colours on the silk and yak/silk. 💜💜💜
I wouldn't have had your willpower though - I would've poked that dyepot! 🤣
❤ Tamantha
Bwahahaha! I'm so glad we all understand the urge!
Super interesting....thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed.

"Don't poke it!!!" Lol, the struggle is real.
@@LisaMyEclecticLife IKR? Is almost irresistible.
If I had to choose one, I'd have to go with the the silk it's just something else x
The silk is so gorgeous. I might dye the same color but on properly soaked silk and see how it turns out.
Cute glasses!
@@jessicawright1656 thanks! I'm embracing my cat lady persona.
I love all these there great I want some of those dyes x
I'm very happy with them. Almost time to order some new colors to play with.
