That is so cool!! I would love to be a chemist mixing new acid dyes. We have a few more food colourings approved here in Australia than you do in the US, but still not as many as non food based acid dyes.
This turned out nice. I wonder if you had a dry tonal skein and dip dyed it in a color that lets the original tonal show through. (can't remember the term) If it worked to be less coverage at the top than the first in the pot it could be very interesting and lovely.
I see you've experimented with natural dyes before. Have you thought about experimenting with rose petals? There are quite a few colors out there that could be fun to do with kids or see how they interact with other fibres.
Hi,, Would you have gotten the same fluorescence, if you had used the same emerald dye and diluted it to produce the same light solid tone , or is it that the fluorescence molecule is striking in the last stages of the dip dyeing process? Edited to add Also luv your channel so many wonderful things happening . Was so caught up in the how that colour behaved.
Great question! Seeing the fluorescence is about the ratio of the pigments on the area of yarn. So if I were to dilute emerald green, the ratio of the green/blues to the yellow would be the same and you wouldn't see the fluorescence. Since that fluorescent yellow binds to yarn slower, it is more concentrated at the lightest end.

My geeky heart loves hearing about the science behind the dyes.
I loved the ombré look in the thumb nail where the yarn in the pot goes from white to green.
Love the green. Always love your jewel tones. Purples and blues, purples and greens, blues and greens. Pretty sure I just love peacock colors!
One of the best reasons for doing something is because it makes you happy.
That is such a pretty green ombre.
I did enjoy this video! I just ordered emerald dye. I think this would make great socks for when we dress up with “The Grinch” theme at my school.
THe color is perfect for a Grinch!
I have been looking for a great emerald yarn. Apparently I need to dye my own.
I would love to see a soft baby pink, delphinium blue and a light apple green colour way.

I haven't ever done research on the total number of acid dye pigments there are out there.

Glazed?
Oh, that's cool! I wonder what other colors are secret fluorescents?
My guess is that Bright Aqua might have some fluorescence.
