VIDEO CONTENTS:
[0:00] What is fractal yarn?
[3:43] Winding a yarn cake
maybe 10 minutes total to wind including setting things up.
[6:01] Making the connected miniskeins
Final weights of the 3 connected minis: 16 grams, 30 g, 58 g
[14:10] The colorway plan
[15:57] Mixing the dyes
1% stock solutions of electric violet and Caribbean blue from dharma acid dyes
In each cup - 1/4 cup water + 4 mL 1% stock of Caribbean Blue
Recipe 1 (100 g yarn) - 100 mL purple
Recipe 2 (60 g yarn) - 30 mL purple
Recipe 3 (28 g yarn) - 6.75 mL purple
Recipe 4 (16 g yarn) - 0.2 mL purple
These are the final recipes.
[20:56] Dyeing the smallest two minis
16 cups of water with no acid
add all of Recipe 3 to one pot, and about half of recipe 4 to another.
Add the yarn, then 4 T white vinegar to each pot
Move the yarn between the minis back and forth between the pots
wait 45 minutes to finish heating the yarn - most color had absorbed
[27:24] Dyeing the biggest two skeins
[31:26] Yarn mop!
Leave no dye behind
[34:23] First look at our wet gradient

I absolutely LOVE it! Both the color and the base (I have a lot of Shadow lying around, and this yardage is perfect!). As pretty as it is in the video, it's more gorgeous in person
Jacquelyn I couldn't help but wonder what you were going to do with all that yardage, but then it struck me how lovely this would be for a top down lace shawl. The smallest/lightest color at the top would probably be about the same depth as those long, long rows of the darkest color at the bottom. I hope you share with us your finished project, whatever it is!
@@newmoonjlp I'm doing a circular shawl since I really wanted to see how the colors would work with a full radius, and so far it's amazing! And then I stole my #5 tips for Chanukah, and my other set is in some sweater sleeves, and my other set isn't interchangeable, so it's on pause for a few days
@@jacquelynsmith2351 oh I bet that will be gorgeous!
Thank you so much for being my Lab Partner! And for sharing some photos :)
I wind for weight by putting a medication bottle over the shaft of the ball winder, so I can remove to weigh without the inside collapsing. It also leaves me a nice loose inside of the ball for the winder.
Your swift is amazing.
Oh this is a good idea!
These turned out absolutely gorgeous 🥰
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely gorgeous! I didn't quite follow the math, but if I think about it, I can figure it out.
I both love and hate math videos because I never know if I'm explaining what is in my head correctly!
criminee, the color gradient on this is spot on! I'm so glad you ended up using less of the first blue. I think it would have been too bright, otherwise. Simply lovely end result! I'ts like wilton's violet, manually broken 😀
I'm really glad I listened to my gut. Math can do a lot but ultimately our eyes are a great color judge!
Everything is gorgeous!
Thank you!
What a cool idea! And it turned out gorgeous!
Thanks so much! 😊
from Gerry- What a great idea! Your colors are gorgeous. Be blessed.
Thank you so much!
Wow, that was a lot of work!
It was a lot more work in my head then it ended up being in person. I was intimidated by the project for a bit!
Super awesome!!
Thanks!!
So, so pretty!
Thank you! 😊
this gradient is so beautiful! and connected skeins is so much a smarter choice to dye a gradient than what i did, which was crank out a whole 100g skein of lace weight yarn on a circular knitting machine (that took about 3 hours), i don't know why i didn't think of this. though i'm not sure how i would go about creating the connected skeins with just an umbrella swift without them getting tangled.
I think that with the CSM you could get a smoother gradient between colors, but splitting the difference with a few more connected minis would work, too.
I got my BA in mathematics (secondary edu) my thesis was on fractal geometry!
This is so cool! I hope that my very crude explanation wasn't too far off base.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials it was a group thesis, I had Koch curve/snowflakes as part of what I had to write up. Too much to explain in a comment, but easy to find the math and equations on google, also really cool visuals. This was a really fun idea, I think I have to try it.
Gah! My brain. Being mathematically challenged I will definitely not do this the way you did it. Eyeballing is my technique.
The math made it easier for me to think about the amounts of dye I wanted to use later on. otherwise you absolutely could eyeball.

Is it bad that I feel the need to talk someone’s kid into doing this as a science project.
I don't blame you!
