Rebecca your work is so inspiring - you are the best teacher for dyeing one could want. I am learning so much from following your videos from the beginning and also watching your new ones. The yarn is gorgeous!!
I love when I'm able to put these together. I sometimes get in my own head and want to do so many controls to have the comparison really mean something, but need to remember I can always follow up!
Rebecca I just love your bubbly personality. It is so fun to watch all the dye experiments you do. I love my yarn. So does my daughter whose favorite color happens to be blue. We really like how it looks like denim. So cool.
These are both absolute winners! I'm so glad you discovered that Royal Purple glazes well, it's really opening up some fantastic comparison experiments. I think that doing a qualitative/exploratory experiment before doing a deep dive is very scientific, you have to know whether there's potential in something before dedicating too much time and resources on it!
THe royal purple is so nice to know because pink orchid glazes well but isn't that dark of a color, and so I felt like I was doing navy and black a lot. I wish that there was a green that struck fast enough to glaze.
Is your searching out the fluorescent just for curiosity/fun or does it have some subtle effect in daylight? I just never understand it since I don't go to any black light places where it would matter. What am I missing? Love both skeins and the process you have developed!
It is mostly for curiosity/fun. In daylight sometimes the fluroescent colors will look a little brighter, but there is so much light that you don't really see the glow. It is rare that I locate black light in my day to day life but sometimes it comes up. I love it when I go on a ride or to a museum and then notice that what I'm wearing is glowing.
I also get a lot of questions about how the fluroescent colors will behave under different situations, so that's why I like to double check. It helps that I love neons, too.
Thank you! 😊 It is fingering weight sock yarn, so it would be some pretty socks! (The purple one is available on Etsy! chemknitscreations.etsy.com/listing/1699442577)
I've been curious if orange, white, blue, teal/turquoise, and black could be used to create a selfstriping skein. (Note: I'm not sure what shades of blue I would actually need since I am trying to create a project based on the colors of the tennessee volunteers, miami dolphins, and the florida gators team colors)
I find myself wondering : if they made the colorless fluorescent pigment available, could you then make your own fluorescent colors using low depths of shade?
Great question! Somewhat. If you mix this colorless pigment with pinks and reds, it kills the fluorescence a bit, and just didn't look as vibrant under the black light. So you CAN, and I'm sure Jacquard is playing around with it in other ways. But since a fluorescent yellow already exists that is SUPER vibrant, and there is also a good fl. pink on the market, the blue was the category that was missing something.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials yeah, that makes sense. I see what you mean. knowing how much you love the blacklight blue, i cant wait to see what they might send you to play with in the future!
This would intensify the blue at one end, and could increase a little fluorescence (since there is more of it on the skein to begin with) but it won't be anything like the first one. The order you dye the fluroescent vs dark color doesn't matter.
The glazed with purple skein is available in my Etsy shop! chemknitscreations.etsy.com/listing/1699442577

Thank you so much for taking the time to say this, it really means a lot. I'm so glad that my videos are helpful!
I've been watching through the back catalogue too. So informative!
I never get tired of glazing videos!
Seems to be my fave too. 😊
Mine, too
Well then you'll like some of the things I have planned but haven't started working on yet!
I very much enjoy all your videos, but I think these side-by-side comparisons are the most interesting.
I love when I'm able to put these together. I sometimes get in my own head and want to do so many controls to have the comparison really mean something, but need to remember I can always follow up!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials And the follow-up means two videos bringing revenue to _you_ as well as two videos bringing enjoyment to _us!_

Thank you so very much! IT really does look like denim! I lvoe hte way the two blues played off eachother.

Thank you!!
The blacklight blue is amazing! And I love the glazed over yarns, so pretty!
Thank you so much!
Still like the glazing the best❣🥰
Thank you!!
So pretty! I love the one with the royal purple.
Thank you so much! That skein happens to be in my Etsy shop right now. chemknitscreations.etsy.com/listing/1699442577
I think it's interesting how I would pair any of the three skeins together but wouldn't put all three together. They are all so pretty.
I see that! I really do.

Very pretty. (Can’t remember what weight this yarn is, but it sure would make some gorgeous socks!). Thank you.

I don't have the space to store several skeins of several colors of yarn, but need all of these colors incorporated into a project.

i think a flourescent teal or green should be next, as radioactive is so yellow leaning .
what if you dip dyed the glazed skeins into the blacklight blue again?
