Very excited to wach the video! I wanted to tell you I completed my first dyeproject today! Because of you I started my natural dying adventure! Thank you! I had so much fun
YAY! I'm so glad you had a lot of fun.
I dyed a cake of acrylic yarn using the Rit Dyemore and had a great gradient effect occur- might be worth a try!
Great idea!
I love how you always say “we” and “our” while you’re talking and dyeing, like all of us watching are there with you. It makes it more....personal(?) I can’t think of the word I want 😂 But that yarn turned out quite pretty!! When you first started washing it, I thought all the color was gonna wash away. But it didn’t and I really like it 💜💙💜💙
Awe, thank you! I think that this comes from my scientific background but I truly do feel like there is a collaboration happen here! I get a lot of inspiration from questions etc in the comments section.
Haha I loved that Jekyll and Hyde self-conversation when you were debating whether or not to poke the yarn. 😄
It is constant. Lol.
There is a lot less damage to the fiber than I expected. And I see more green in person than I can see on the screen. The purple shades are very pretty. And yes, I noticed the static right away! I think it is more a result of a change to the fibers.
There was a big difference in how the fibers held up between today and Friday's videos for sure. Thank you so much for being my lab partner!
She didn’t do it right the water is supposed to be on a stove and 200 degrees the entire time
I really like the way it turned out with all the tonal purples. It’s weird how the green just disappeared! I wondered if it would take a bit more dye if you gave the yarn a quick wash to take out any sizing, etc. Thanks for your videos. So much vicarious fun!
Part of the nature of this type of dye is to have a lot of excess to rinse out, so there will always be some of that. Some pre-washing could help, though. (This isn't usually a step I do!)
I bought 10 skeins of white acrylic yarn on knitpicks so you have given me some ideas about what to do with them. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
i have died with acrylic and dye more. Most of the dye washed out, with the exception of the yarn that was touching the bottom of the pan. the yarn that touched the bottom of the pan, was very vibrant, the rest of the yarn was either white or pastel.
This seems to be pretty consistent with what I saw, too.
It didn’t work if you follow her video you have to do it on the stove and keep the water 200 degrees she didn’t even follow the directions on rit
@@erinlippert6212She’s experimenting, seeing what happens when she changes things up.
I've dyed fabric in the washing machine, including white denim I dyed purple to make a pair of jeans. It works, but you have to stay nearby so you can restart the wash cycle multiple times and not let the machine drain the dye.
I'd just be nervous because of past issues we've had with our washer (resulting in replacing it.) We couldn't figure out how we would get random stains on clothes - not every wash but sometimes. So I'd hate to have dye stuck in a place to come back and say hello at another time. :D
@@ChemKnitsTutorials you could buy a used washer to use for dying in the washer, that way you would not get random dye stains on your clothes.
Interesting how the purple overtook the green. I've noticed with acrylic yarn that some colors feel rougher than others. I have always assumed it was.dye related not heat related.
Oh intersting!
Have you ever tried this technique for acrylic roving? If so do you have a video about this technique?
I haven't. Once concern I'd have is that the dyeing process "kills" (i.e. melts) the fibers a bit so I'm not sure how spinnable it would be after. This is an interesting idea, though, I'll make note of it. :D
🙋🏽♀️ Hi Rebekah would this process work for cotton yarn?
I don't recommend using Rit DyeMore Synthetic on any fibers other than synthetics like acrylic or polystester. For cotton you can use regular rit.
Hey! So i am really REALLY into dying acrylic yarns and i use the Fixative, my bf says it helps even though the Rit Foxative is for natural fibers. I cant tell the difference, so is it possible for you to test this out? Maybe you can spot a dofference before i do. The fixatives are abt $3 at my local walmart.
Now that im at the end of the video i do notice that i have way less white in my yarns, but they turn into Tonals.
I was trying to get super uneven color coverage so that could be part of it. :D
Could you use an electric steamer or does it have to be in a pot. Newbie sorry x
Dylan - questions are welcome! You can probably use an electric steamer if it will get hot enough. I believe that acrylic dyes need to be near boiling temperatures.
I think that’s a happy accident, pretty tonal yarn.
THank you! It is really interesting how different colors work. On Friday I'll have another acrylic video.
Hi was wondering if it would be possible to stain my white acrylic yarn with natural dye. Not intending to get a super dark or vibrant colour, but was keen to try beet root, coffee, and other veges which i have quite an abundance of. Been scouring the internet for some tips and tricks but comments always lean toward not even wasting time with trying. But given im really just shooting for a light natural stain... Would this be achievable?
In some of my natural dyeing videos I do have 100% acrylic and 100% polyester samples in there. Some of them did take up SOME tint compared to the undyed fibers.... Although I'm not sure if it was the acrylic or the polyester that took up something. (But compared to cotton and wool not much at all) ua-cam.com/video/Egz8qFSRExQ/v-deo.html
Looks good actually, now im hoping they don't wash out to their original colour! I will actually be attempting to stain a white acrylic. Got loads of them.
Have you tried dyeing cotton acrylic blend?
Good question... and maybe? But not with any type of proper dye. I think that the knitpicks comfy line is cotton/acrylic and I may have dyed it.. but I don't remember the video.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials I thought you had years back but my deep dive came up short. I got a bunch of cotton acrylic blend from a kraemers mystery box and was getting ideas. Fiber reactive doesn't work on acrylic but does for cotton and from what I understand basic dyes work on acrylic but not cotton lol sooo idk. Should be interesting.
I’d be afraid to dye in my washer in case I didn’t get it all out
SAME!
Ive dyed so much and different colours i my machine as i has a contract last year tie dying hundreds of pairs of nike socks ,many colours and I’ve never had any contamination... its safe
Oh ALSO! How to prevent it from flatting as much! Dont exceed temps over 104°f, and when washing use HOT water then gradually cool down. Washing it in cold after having it in a hot pan will shock the fibers much like putting a hot pan in cold water! :)
Interesting, because 104 degrees isn't that hot. I feel like I had some decent results steaming in the past but the immersion dyeing worked SIGNIFICANTLY better in terms of flattening than steaming (which got very flat.)
I can try a cooler temperature next time I try this. I went super hot because of the instructions: Due to the complexity of dyeing synthetics, you must use the stovetop method to maintain an almost boiling temperature for the duration of your dyeing (200°F or greater). Accordingly: (1) you cannot dye anything that won’t fit into a pot on your stove and (2) you cannot use your washer because the machine won’t be able to achieve the water temperature needed for Rit DyeMore to penetrate the fabric.

Too many ads today. I'll try watching it later cause right now it's just noise.
Thank you for pointing this out! I normally remove a lot of the ones that UA-cam auto-inserts (They will put 6-10 on most of my videos if I don't remove them!)
@@ChemKnitsTutorials yeah, I got 5 minutes in and then there were 3 loud ads in a row, 5 more minutes and there was 1 minute nonskip ad with fast talking, then 2 minutes later there was 3 more ads and I gave up. I try to let ads run so the channel gets the funds, but it was just tooooooo much today.
Your supposed have the water at about 200 degrees the entire time you didn’t even do it correctly!
