Yes - when people say things such as «chemicals are harmful» and «this product contains no chemicals» I really a) wonder what they surround themselves with, and b) REALLY wonder what they are trying to sell… 😅
I think a lot of people hear "natural dyes" and think that it means it is safer. And there are some natural dyes that are food safe, but then others that I would only ever use with dedicated dyeing equipment.
Hi Rebeca I'm Monika from the Czech Republic, that's the little dot in the middle of Europe. I'm your fan, I love your videos, you're great and very skilled. I really wanted to see your live broadcast yesterday, but I was at work until 6 pm. So I watched you this morning over coffee :-) Have you tried the method of pouring a 1% solution of, for example, 4v dyes first on a dry baking sheet, then placing the yarn on it (pre-soaked only in water) so that the colors don't run out of their places too much and only then dousing it with water with/without vinegar, and then dyeing the top side? It's just an idea, maybe then the yarn wouldn't have to be turned.
I really appreciated the chemistry lesson about colour rings and ions. Super helpful!
Thank you!! I didn't do it in the most proper way, but I hope it helped.

I have poured liquid dyes on the counter and mopped them up with dry yarn, but not quite like you've described. I've saved this in my suggestions!
