Fun to watch. My wife wants to run to the store for supplies!
Woohoo!
i'm 10 seconds into the video, jealous of that temperature while trying to stay warm in 3 sweaters and a blanket!
I filmed this in July I think - so it was much much hotter then. :D
I'm in jeans and a sweatshirt today
even in July its often a little chilly here! at least I have an excuse to continue knitting sweaters. thank you for the video, I love the pink and blue yarn
Anna Hygum where do you live ? 😃
I love the tie-dye feel of these!
Thank you!
Love how they turned out
Thank you!
Omgoodness. Those are probably my favorite of all the videos I have watched. Those turned out gorgeous! 😍😍😍
Thank you!
Lovely results! It’s been really interesting to watch you sun dyeing.
Thank you!
I did the same as you did with the yarn in the chestnut dye, and to got some lovely white patches, but I've got this chestnut dye, and never knew it was a such gorgeous purple colour. I need to try it out 😍
The color is STUNNING! Not brown like I would have expected, but the color makes me so happy.
Looks like a neat way to dye with my grandson helping!
YES! This would be so fun.
Omg that last one is gorgeous! I have been saving jars to play with this method more. It looks so cool in the jars!
I love it! Technically you could use other containers but the jars are super fun.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials right?? Theyre like little decorations until life lets you get back to what you REALLY want to do! 😄
I love them! I did something similar last fall and love that skein of yarn. I still haven’t used it, but it’s so pretty. I soaked in a jar and then steamed the yarn. But the kettle dye effect of stuffing the yarn in a jar turned out great.
Thank you so much!
Great episode !
Thank you!
GREAT video!
Thank you so much!
I think I'll put together some mini skeins and solar dye them by the pool this weekend. It's still in the high 80s to mid 90s, here in Texas.
YAY! It is going to hit the high 80's again in MA this weekend, too.
i just love what you do its beautiful, i would love to try your yarn but im in the UK and it makes it a bit expensive for me with the postage, but there the most colourful and brilliant yarns iv seen. Merry Christmas xx
Thank you so much, Kim! I truly wish that international postage were less expensive for many reasons. :(
Loved this experiment. Since this is such a different result than pan dyeing, I/d love to see swatches of these knit up. I bet they're beautiful!
I think that every single skein done with this technique would have an element of uniqueness to it. :D I wish that I could provide swatches in every video, but I don't have the capacity to do it at this point. :(
No worries It encourages us to do our own experimenting!!!
I saw some of the yellow go on the outside of the jar while you were adding it.
I'm relieved that all of you noticed this!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, that was really interesting to see. My favorite was the powder that you did last. If you turned the jar upside down, once or twice, on the red and yellow, then you could get orange in the middle, or would it ruin it? Thanks for sharing. I don't know anything about dying yarn.
I don't think it would ruin it at all, it could help - or you could blend everything together to a more solid color which could also be cool.
If you soak the fiber in water for 30 minutes with vinegar added, do you still need to add the vinegar into the jars?
I wonder if the red and yellow would have moved if you turned the jar upside down about halfway through.
That might have been too much time, but if I had turned it around a bit right after setting it up that might have helped.
I think the yellow dye on your hand was from dye on the outside of the jar. I would love to try this technique but I'm in England so the temperature is never that hot.
I think so, too. Or around the threads on the lip.
You could put the jars in the oven and get a similar result, and if you get proper canning jars they'll be able to handle the heat no problem. Timing would be a little different I'm sure, but I think there was a video on here somewhere about using the oven as a heat source. Similarly, I've dyed in mason jars in a water bath on the stove top too.
I love to use mason jars in a water bath! There is another video with this coming up in a few weeks. :D I haven't tried htem in the oven yet, though. I've only done the oven twice I think. (And not with mason jars)
Maybe low and slow like a good brisket 😊
Question: When you dye this way, is there a special way to wash after you complete your project so you don't lose your coloring?
No - the color should be well set after enough time in the heat and if there was enough acid in the yarn. There are times (like when I add powder) that some might not dissolve and then there could be bleeding in the end, but if you're worried you can always steam set the yarn after the fact.
I want to dye artificial flowers ..they might b Georgette or rayon..I have options of natural dye from marigolds, second is turmeric or artificial food color...which method do I use..
The actual fiber content is important because you would use different dyes for silk georgette or rayon. I haven't tried dyeing a lot of rayon. I don't think you'd get a lot of color from tumeric or marigolds. If the fiber is a polyester, it won't work. Rayon should be dyed like.cotton, which is harder to dye. Artificial food coloring won't work on rayon but would on silk.
I'm sorry this isn't more helpful. Rayon can be dyed.wkth fiber reactive dyes.
In our local store there is no where to buy bare yarn.. Can i just use a white wool yarn for dying???
Yes! 😍
@@ChemKnitsTutorials omg thank you very much.. In this upcoming week i will have my test in college and i will surely do it after my test😊
The powder jar made mermaid yarn.
That one is definitely my favorite!
How big are your jars? 32 oz?
Yes, these are 32 ounce jars. I have a few that are 64 oz but I don't think I had them at this time.
You spilled a bit of yellow liquid on the outside of the jar while pouring. It probably was in the threads on the jar.
Phew! ;)
