Tell me what you think! I'm super in my head about it and couldn't decide if it was lovely or... way too much. :D I have listed the yarn on Etsy, but I may still pull it to overdye. www.etsy.com/listing/1199195725/variegated-dk-weight-yarn-100-superwash
I like it skeined up
I think it could have done without the neon green. I'm leaning towards hand dyeing over the neon green with a darker, more mossy, warm green.
Hi Rebecca, did you get a pkg from Amazon the other day? It's from me! (Lenai Waite) I figured you could use them, and the link you provide is linked to a different item. Now you can throw some away??
@@toebeans1916 THANK YOU! I was SO confused when I opened it because I didn't think that I had ordered any recently. But then I thought maybe I didn't and couldn't remember, lol.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials lol you sound like me! I wander around the house thinking I should just stay inside...its safer for everyone.
I love this yarn ❤️❤️❤️❤️ FYI I just bought it all.
Thank you so much!!! I got so in my head that I didn't know what to think anymore by the end.
Thank you for making it!❤️🧶❤️ It was love at first sight for me. I'm super into both neon and autumn colors, so it seemed like it was made for me.
It's got a Lord of the Rings feel doesn't it??
OOOH, can you tell us what you plan to make with it?
@@arielvining9305 I am thinking I may make a cardigan or a sweater
I would love to see that neon green with deep blues and purples.
OOOO YES!!!
You could dip/over-dye the green ends with a light peach color to knock down the light value a bit, creating a muted color that coordinates with the reds/burnt oranges without covering them up. It’s definitely doable…the colorway has a lot of promise. Since you have 3 skeins, you could use this opportunity to try over-dyeing, using different colors to see which hue tweaks the green without having to darken the whole skein and lose that fine definition. It’s a good Color Theory practice project. Thanks for sharing…we can all learn from this. 😉👍🏻
I think there are a lot of things that I could do to fix it. Now I want to try to dye something ugly on purpose just so I can do a let's fix it video. (The yarn from this video is going to a wonderful home so I can't change this one anymore)
When you said “poisonous,” I immediately thought of some poisonous tree frog! I like it!
See, I think if my inspiration was poison to start with then I would have been immediately delighted!
Sometimes it's the most unusual combinations that make the most amazing skeins. The brighter green looks oddly bright until you skeined the yarn and then it looks fab. I'm thinking this is a perfectly Halloween colourway... Poison Apple! Keep up the good work!
I think I would have been more confident if I was going for Poison to start with!
😂 lol... sometimes you just can't help when the magic is going to happen! 🤭
I like it. It reminds me of the ways you can find all kinds of random colors on a plant, because nature doesn't care what "matches" - deeper older blossoms and brighter newer blossoms will be present with all shades of green. That's just life.
I can see that!
I think it’s missing a component and that is how it looks worked up. Handyed, store bought, and handspun yarns may look pretty in hanks ans skeins, but look ugly worked up. This is just an old lady’s opinion. You did a great job with the video.
This is true - some yarn is stunning in the hank but then I'm unsure about it when worked up. You often have to find the right kind of pattern to showcase yarn. I love garter stitch project for wild yarn with high contrast.
I think it looks great! Not ugly at all. I like how the pops of colour look, and it probably looks great knitted up or crocheted!
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
I’m getting zombie apocalypse, mutant turtle, hazmat vibes. I like the resist idea you had and think the orange is probably fab. It’s the green that doesn’t work for me. I like the rest of it, and as soon as you said you were putting autumnal colors over neons, I figured there would be some major clashing. The orange works because it’s close in color, so even though there’s a clean/dirty contrast, the tones are similar. The green doesn’t work, because not only is it clean/dirty, but also cool/warm, or opposites. I liked someone’s else’s suggestion of deep blue and purple over the green, or any of the neons. Those would play really nicely together!
Oh Rebecca that is the most fabulous creation of apple yarn I have ever seen. I just love it.
Thank you! I was thinking appley foresty when I picked the colors, I just was wavering in confidence at the end.
Down here in the southern hemisphere it is autumn, and this colour scheme reminds me of the colours in our liquidambar trees: dark reds with bright yellows and greens peeking through (sometimes even on the same leaf). Surely nature can't get it wrong, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Oh pretty!
Fall colors are my favorite. My kids and I used to look for the leaves with the most colors in them. This yarn reminds me of that. I could see it used for a decorative fall project. If the green was a little "less neon" it would be beautiful. Thanks for sharing your learning experiences with us.
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
I like it. The overtones are glorious .While wet I didn't like the green but loved it when dry. Of all the colours I would have omitted the yellow. The neon green looks like sprouts pushing through leaves on the ground . Stay safe.
Thanks so much 😊 The yellow was a bit too cool toned for the rich warmth of the rest of the colors
Love the technique. Not crazy for the green. The yellow and orange blend nicely with the over-dye colors. Sometime you just need to go for it to know what works and what doesn't. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
Too many ideas in one place, but I'm glad the yarn is going to go to a home where it is well loved!
I actually really liked the end result! For me, the green and yellow worked more than the orange - I wasn't too keen on the orange when wet, although it does look better dry. It reminds me of some colours you might see in a bird's feathers, like a pheasant or a parrot. And there are some yarns that look super gorgeous in the skein but look messy worked up, whereas I actually think this one would work well knitted as you'd have one or two stitches in that light contrast colour with the red background
Well, the Etsy link says it's sold out, so somebody must have been brave! (Unless you've already decided to pull it for overdyeing?) I hope the buyer sends you some FO photos.
I think what tips the scales to "chaotic" is that there are too many points of contrast vying for attention. Three neon colors AND they don't quite match the reds AND the reds are extremely tonal, making the neon layer both bold and muted at different points. I think it looks best skeined up because the yarn pulled tight makes the color transitions appear sharper, so a project that pools similarly could be quite nice. The skein reminds me of apple peels.
Thank you for taking risks and sharing even the weirder results! I can't do much prototyping as a home dyer on a tight budget, so I'm always grateful for opportunities to explore new color combos and techniques vicariously.
I hope I get some FO's, too! I had a hunch some may care for it - especially people who like wild yarns.
You're very right - I think the neons with a more subtle over layer would have felt less loud.
I’d love to see a knitted swatch. I have a feeling the colors will really cohabitate well. The green has a very different language than the reds and yellows which are the same, extended family. The green could be an awesome balance. Yarns can change their character so much from skein to knitting. I like it!
This is true, I don't usually have capacity to include swatches in my videos but I do regret not doing one this time.
I don’t hate it. My boys would love it. I dye for them every once in awhile and this seems like something one of them would be interested in. Stitching it up will make the bright colors sections smaller...turning them into pops.
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
As someone who loves "ugly", unsettling, horror art; it reminds me of guts and I absolutely adore it.
I love this description! I think that I tend to shy away from horror but I was so unsure of myself with this one. I love how it has been working up, though! (I shared pictures from the customer on my IG)
This turned out so cool! I love it. I think it would have been even better if the neon was only the green, or the yellow, or both. The orange didn't pop enough for me. I would rock this as a sweater for sure 😂
There are pictures of it on my instagram that were shared with me! I love how it is being worked up.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…there is someone out there that is going to LOVE this yarn!
There may be! That's why I listed it because I'm genuinely curious.
I actually really like this yarn I think it would look gorgeous in a woven project 😍 thanks for sharing this with us xx
You’re welcome 😊 The recipient of the yarn is making a vest or sweater, I forget exactly but I shared a photo on my instagram a few weeks back.
This is fascinating! I agree with you that layering the autumn colors over a neon base is a really neat effect - I think it adds a really interesting depth/complexity. The pops of neon are ...well, not really my thing at all, but I also just don't love super high contrast variegated yarns, and in fact, I don't really like resists very much, so I was never the best audience for this yarn! The russet and green very much make me think of apples, though! So if they'd blended, yes, that would be interesting too and might result in a true apple-colored yard. I'd also be curious to see it knit up, because that's always the final word for me in whether I like a yarn or not. But you never know for certain how it's going to look if you don't try!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
This is beautiful yarn. I would not dye over it. So pretty can't wait to see what someone makes with it.
I hope I get some photos!
I really like the colours. It is very autumnal
Thank you!
I want to see it knitted up! I definitely don't hate it.
I want to see it knit up, too! I"m hoping I get some FO photos.
Not ugly at all, I like it . Thank you 🥳
Thank you! It is so fun to see everyone's opinion - and how kind everyone is even if they don't care for the colors!
I kind of sort of like it. I don’t know what it is about it but, the more I look at it, the more I like it!!!
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
This is such an interesting concept and it's got me thinking. You're basically doing two variegations plus an overdye, which I think would work with more color theory planning. Usually we see a base color or a base variegation with the opposite overdye with resists. So this is wild and interesting and definitely deserves further experimentation! Well done!
I absolutely should have done a bit more color theory planning. I think my vision had me creating something way more subtle tonal variation in the second layer than what I ended up with - and so it made everything busier.
I think it's the green that tips it into not quite working. For me anyway! Still, very interesting idea and I think it's these riskier yarns that teach us the most about what is possible.
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
The more I look at it the more ok it is. Unique for sure.
Unique is a great word for it! I often suffer from doubts about my own work and can get really far inside my head.
I like this a lot. It is fall forest colors. The pop of green is the lichen on the trunks.
This is making me remember I need to use my Lichen green dye from Dharma more - it is a LOVELY color
I agree with the comments that want to tone down the green area a bit. If I had this skein to modify, I just would dip the green part into a low percentage of the muted colour for a glaze effect. The yellow and orange pops are fine to me. I very much love the yarn. And maybe, knitted up, the green would fit in, too. It is always hard to decide, until the yarn is stitched, to see, how harmonious those stark contrasts fit into the fabric.
I could imagine a doubleknit or striped piece could accent it well.
I agree - the right pattern to see how it works up is a key. There are so many yarns that I ADORE but then don't love how they knit up.
It reminds me of American sweetgum tree leaves in the fall. Almost exactly the same color scheme. It'd make a great autumn scarf.
I shared a picture from my customer on instagram - it is working up beautifully!
Awesome! Beautiful! Gorgeous! It's a conversation piece....a little more green. Pineapple Knits on UA-cam dyes colors like this, and she sells lots of yarn.
I'm pleased I went for something that was out of my comfort zone, and I plan to try to play around with this more in the future.
Honestly The more I look at this this yarn the more I like it. it reminds me of an apple orchard in the fall.
That is sort of what I was going for!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials you definitely achieved that I think. Even my husband walked by as I was watching and said that looks like apples 🍎 lol
I love it!! Those are colors that I am drawn too. The green is a little brighter than expected but I think it works.
That's the thing with doing resist with a color first (vs adding the color after the fact) - you get a surprise!
According to my Color Wheel, the red-orange and bright green (radioactive) are split complimentary colors. I think the radioactive is beautiful. I would have used a little more of it, instead of the lemon. But if you leave radioactive out of the dye, then I would have just used fluorescent safety orange and blazing orange with the combo. It's radioactive that makes it ugly beautiful, and a pair of socks I would love to have. What a great piece of artwork!
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
I'm not a fan of green, But skeined up, if I were to see it in a store I'd probably come home with some. Because skeined up you see more of the innards that still have the neon colors. I hope we get to see a knitted or crocheted object with this because that would be the real proof. I love watching you experiment. It helps me have more confidence when I dye up some yarn. I always use your tutorials to learn the how's and why's of yarn.
I'm so glad my videos are helpful, Kat!
Wow.... That's a LOT of color! :)
1) I would like to see it without the Green & Yellow highlighter colors, and maybe a lighter hand on the Cabernet, It's a nice base color, but it's a bit of a bully color. (it takes over everything!)
2) To fix the current skein, I would over-dye with the CherryBomb or the Dark Orange (I forgot the color name!) with a big splash of vinegar to make it set quickly. Thanks again for your videos!!!
A LOT of color for sure! Overdyeing with the red or orange is a fun way to keep variegation without dimming everything too much.
I really do like it. I think I would like it more if the resist had the colors spreads out. That there was more of each color in different areas. Not just the yellow being on one end and the green on the other. But I live the combination of the ones you chose.
Yeah, wish those pops were more random. Maybe if I had done the resist first and then painted the neons on.
It has a nice retrovibe, it reminds me of my wallpaper in my first house mid seventies! Yes The walpaper was wild!
It DOES have a 70's vibe to it! Maybe it needs to be woven to give a plaid feel
I love this yarn!
Handpainting some darker green splotches onto the light green would give a bit of contrast and tone down the neon.
That would be a good solution, too!
i like it. looks like a neon-infused take on an Autumnal colorway.
That was what I was going for!
I like how the neon orange and yellow look, the later offers enough contrast to be interesting while still fitting into the aesthetic. The green on the other hand, it just clashes too much. Maybe if it was a moss or olive hue...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!
The twisted result makes me think of some apples I’ve seen and admired.
Thank you!
I totally love the colors, I would use it. You did a great job!
Thank you!
You're so funny. The only thing I would change is no green - without it, it would be a really cool fire/flame colorway.
Thanks!
The green and yellow really kind of take away from the other colors which look amazing together. I think next time, just use the safety orange and do some resists and use the cabernet red, orange, pecan, and cherry bomb over top. It SHOULD look like the way leaves look when they first fall off of a tree--some tiny bit of bright color pop amongst the more muted autumnal colors.
This is what I did in DPW 356 (which I shared first - I took the lessons of what I liked ehre and made something I was confident in) :D
I don't know, I kind of like it! At the end of the video, seeing it hanked up, it looks nice. I think I'll have to see it worked up in a project to decide. Or maybe even just a small knitted/crocheted swatch. I feel like it might make a nice simple ribbed beanie.
It looks so good worked up!!! I hope to share a photo on IG this weekend.
I really liked when it got dried up, absolutely love it in a hank ✌
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
I don’t think this looks ugly at all.
It reminds me of an orchard in late autumn, with a few green leaves, mostly yellows, orange & reds.
It’s very autumnal & could make something great.
This is what I was going for - my confidence just wavered once I saw the results.
It’s very 90s. For some reason the movie Batman and Robin immediately comes to mind when I see the colors. I’m definitely not mad about it though!
OMG i love this!
Lol, I didn't get much sleep... I'm a couple minutes into the video and you show the dye in the cup before adding water, the yellow one had me questioning why you had egg yolk in a dyeing video. :D Edit - I finished the video and I like them as is. This yarn would be perfect for one of those patterns that use a background color and a foreground color, like those honeycomb hats. Pair it with a solid black to help control the busyness and this yarn will shine as the background color.
I laughed out loud with the egg comment.
I think it is cool! Kind of like a leaf pile with some green leaves thrown in!
Leaves falling through the air on a chalk drawing?
It is definitely one of a kind the way it is.
It sure is one of a kind! lol.
I'm not a neon lover, but I wouldn't call it ugly. It's unique for sure and if I had that lying around I would overdye the green and yellow with a brown and speckles. I'm an earth tones kind of person though ;)
I think that Ugly isn't really fair, but it made a fun UA-cam title. Certainly I wasn't confident with the results. I love reading everyone's thoughts!
I think this a actually really pretty for an early autumn. Would be really interesting to see how it Knits up just the way it is.
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
Personally I would use the dying on the counter method and cover the radioactive with chestnut or walnut and maybe darken the yellow to a mustard. Then I'd consider using it for fall leaves or at least that feel. But that's my wheelhouse, lol. Of course even as is it could be used for fall leaves, I'm thinking 3D leaves.
It would weave wonderfully with deep brown contrast!
I think it would be a great yarn for weaving!
Love it! Absolutely love it!!
Glad you like it!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials oh yes! It's what I imagine the fall colors will be.
Oh my gosh! I like it!!
Thank you!
I love the outcome very much except for the green. I am pretty sure that using it in a warp would give a cool and unique and beautiful !
The wine red is gorgeous. 🍭
I was thinking it would be fun woven to give a 70's plaid vibe
I don't dislike it but feel the green needs a partner. The green seems a little lonely. If I could wave a magic wand over it, I'd add a light neon blue to the neon resist layer to help the green feel more integrated into the palette. Adding more color sounds like crazy talk but that's what I would want to try next. Great project and so fun to watch!
The green was the one that gave me the most pause.
Honestly I like the green 😅, I think a maroon/orange/green yarn would be cool!
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
I agree about the neon green being out of place. At first I honestly thought it was hideous, BUT it does look much much better skeined up! If You decide to over dye it, I think the cabernet or other deep dark red and black would look amazing 😉
The cabernet layered over all the neons so nicely!! I took the elements I liked from this colorway for last Tuesday's video. :D The green stayed home then.
I like the green pops 😉
I have been binge watching you this week… and really want to know what would happen with a true “lazy” dye method… fill large container with water, acid, and dye… take a twisted skein of DRY yarn, and just… lay it on the water. Let the dye and water soak in on it’s own and just… don’t touch it until all the dye is exhausted!! I’m guessing it would “have” to be a cold vat thing, but once the water is clear- heat set it in the microwave!!
I’m intrigued enough that I’m contemplating doing it myself but I don’t have yarn… or dye… or a dye pot. Lol. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 you either already have this video and I just can’t find it (please help with search terms then!!) or you’d be willing to do this silly thing, lol!! (I’m even thinking about being a lab-partner for it, haha!! Using radioactive? Or frozen? My son LOVES neon!! )
I just remembered I have synthetic dye in the house!! Someone (me) may dig for some yarn to overdye now ☺️☺️. I was just gifted a bunch of old yarn… now: dyepot 🤔
This is a fun suggestion! I'm SURE I've done something like this with twisted skeins.... This one may not be the closest but ua-cam.com/video/KhLR7xcUeyo/v-deo.html
Love this color
THanks!
I like it. Totally unexpected pops.
THank you! I was going for something less conventional.
I kind of like this! Looks like MacKintosh apples!
Thank you!
I think it's the neon green contrasting with the red and orange tones that feels off. I'm getting Christmas decorations in October vibes from it. ;) I would have loved to see all the pops of color as the fluorescent orange.
I think that I should have done one neon pop or done something less variegated for the over layer. Sometimes my too much gene is magical.... and other times it could be too much!
Love this yarn
Thanks!
I think it is a very interesting color. I would like to see it worked up. I just think the look of yarn still in skeins can be misleading on how it will look worked up. I think it was a pretty cool experiment.
This is very true - there are some skeins I love that I don't like how they work up
During the dyeing process it reminded me of abdominal surgery! (I’m a retired RN).
OMG!
If you decide to experiment more with overdyeing neons, with autumnal colors instead of green, do orange and pink instead. Part of why the orange section appeals is that it feels consistent with the red and brown. The pink will have that same consistency, but will also add a twist to it in a more watercolor way than the green does. What if you did your neon layer as a cool vat technique so the neon would really penetrate the plies and then did a glaze with cabernet or pecan? The picture in my head is kind of a dirtied up or tarnished neon.
I think pink would have been a better choice given what I layered on top. At one point I thought I would use some forest green, too... but then I went for the warmer tones. I'm now forgetting if I pulled the green at first or not...
It looks amazing and would make a really cool pair of socks! I would totally buy it if you list it. 😍😍
It is listed in my shop! www.etsy.com/listing/1199195725/variegated-dk-weight-yarn-100-superwash
Whoops I spoke too soon, someone bought it and I didn't notice yet.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials that’s ok! I really think it turned out beautifully and you gave me some inspiration to try this technique for myself! 🥰🥰
Love the colour way
Thank you!
I would love to see a knitted swatch as it may give a different view of these colours together, they looked good when twisted
I do regret not swatching htis one when I was unsure about it!
Twisted up I love it but I didn't like it until that moment. I'm an autumn colours person.
I would use it as part of a 10stitch blanket.
It is possible that it would look so cool worked up with the colors blended more. It just was a bit different from the idea in my head.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials the 10 stitch blanket gives you a better mix of the colours. And a 5 stitch Tunisian circular blanket does the same . I'm just learning to dye yarn .so I'm using food colouring. And using my yarn in the Tunisian circle blanket . I'm loving how the colours pop ..
I love the colors and wish it wasn’t sold out !
THank you!
The title of this video is how I feel after every time I dye yarn or fiber 😅 Doesn't stop me from having fun though!
Edited to add I absolutely love the colors of this yarn! Funny enough it's the type of color scheme I try to replicate myself but can never seem to get right.
The title accurately reflects the doubt I have sometimes when I'm unsure about a project. ;)
I think it is so cool!
Thank you!
Hmm. I think this looked so cool! And I saw the lab partners 😍 they're both so pretty to me!
I'm glad you like both of them! I think that if I weren't originally TRYING to do a Lab Partner video maybe I wouldn't have been wavering on this as much... but since I knew I was sending this to someone I wanted to make something I was confident with.
I love it!!
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
With this one, I'd need to see it swatched before I think I could say if I liked it or not. In the skein it is a bit jarring, but you never know, it might be nice once knit or woven,
I do regret not swatching for a color I was so unsure about!
I like it all except for the green. I wonder how it would look if the neon undercoat was Purple Pop, allowed to break. Way to be adventurous!!
I now wonder, too!
Love it!!
Thank you!!
It’s beautiful but I think I would leave out the green next time and just use warm neon pops.
Same. The yellow was also a bit cool toned.
I like this whole look but with out the radioactive.
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
It definitely is not the ugliest in the world, but just like you it is not in my wheelhouse. I am glad it found a good home and hope we get to see it knit up. Some of my so called ugliest yarn has ended up being some of my favorite when knit up.
I agree - I've ended up loving some roving and yarn when I worked with it more than I liked it in the skein. It's definitely not the ugliest in the world, but I wasn't confident in how I felt about it.
Maybe instead of using so many colors to dye over the neons, just use three colors that are closer to the colors of the neons. Like an emerald green, a darker orange, and a maybe a deeper yellow. So the colors compliment each other. But your results are not that bad. Once it's knitted or crocheted, the colors are going to look different.
I took a color risk for sure! Thank you for sharing your opinion!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials I watch your videos all the time. I am allergic to wool, so yarn dyeing is just something I am going to try, but I love seeing how you create such beautiful yarns.
would like to see a swatch of this yarn knitted. It would make it easier to see what the yarn will do.
I do regret not swatching this one
I think it's awesome. I wear these colors.
Thanks!
I’m into it!
THnak you!
My only real complaint is the green. A little too bright for my taste. A future suggestion might be to have smaller, but more numerous, sections of resist so the neon sections aren’t as abrasive but are still noticeable.
Kyle - I agree. I think that I should have stuck with one neon, or maybe gone for a pops of the red and orange then layered with the cabernet and brown.
I feel it’s works except the green resist. I’d still use it, but after the neons and the resist ties are on.
The green distracted me, too. I think it was both too out of place and yet not enough contrast.
I think it's lovely in parts! I would prefer it without the neon green and yellow, which are too harsh compared to the other softer autumnal colours. And I'd prefer it if the darker colours, which you over-dyed with, were stronger throughout--I'm not a fan of almost-white patches in yarn. But I think the colours are lovely on the whole. I like a lot of colour!
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
I think you could get a better feel of the yarn if you knit a swatch of it. Sometimes things look very different in fabric.
I agree. Normally I don't swatch because I dye way too many colorways and don't have the time to do it for every video... but I do regret not swatching here.
Love it… how will it knit up? ( long time ago I painted a picture, in my eyes it was not at all saving. My husband liked it, I entered it into a show and it got a blue ribbon and $100 gift certificate ) soooo…. In my eyes your yarn is beautiful. I would knit up a cardigan…. Thanks for your video
I think how it knits up depends so much on the stitch pattern. (garter stitch may be super fun!)
