Couldn't leave a comment for some reason so im replying lol I had by mistake made a peacock color (food coloring) that I cannot seem to replicate. Do you have any suggestions? Would love to see it on a dyepot weekly.
Wow! What beautiful colors! I am a silk painter and I use commercial dyes (DuPont Silk Dyes). I watch videos where they use Fiber Reactive Dyes in powder form on cotton wearables to show the color splits and they were GORGEOUS! This reminds me of that. I'm amazed that these are food coloring! I would love it if I could get some of these splits, breaks and/or strikes with my liquid dyes. Thanks for showing us some cool stuff!
I've been on another binge and I just love your infectious personality and I'm learning so much regarding both food coloring and acid dyes this is just amazing of you to share and do with us all ❤❤
The blue and teal looked so similar saturation-wise that the difference in the overdyed yarn amazed me! I really like the purplish color of the same ends dipped first, but the contrast of the ends on the flipped skein could give some really amazing results when worked up.
The teal breaking is so incredibly subtle that I wondered if I made a mistake picking that for this project. I was afraid I wouldn't see a lot of difference between the two, and BOY was I surprised!!
You should! It is a super fun color. I almost wish I did violet and copper to really show two exaggerated breaking examples, but these colors are so pretty I'm not that sad.
I'm definitely trying this with Wiltons violet. It's my favourite breaking dye as well! The first time I used it I had no idea it would break and I was thrilled with the results. Thanks for sharing all your dying knowledge :-)
The one with the more copper-y toned end looks like an intentionally patina'ed copper colorway. The color shift captures the patina process of copper almost perfectly.
I just stumbled across your channel and you, Miss, are quite a chemist. :-) Very informative content and seeing you so excited to share your knowledge is delightful!
Also, on the point of why you might have differences between mixing the 2 colours together before the dip or doing 2 dip-dyes : between the 2 colours, you have 3 molecules (maybe I didn't listen closely enough and it's 4, I think it is 4 now), so if you have all 3 at the same time, red has a faster rate than the yellows. Whilst when you had only the teal, the yellow was the fastest so it had priority. Am I making sense?
Well the bigger difference between having the Teal+Copper dip dyed together and then a Teal dip vs copper dip is that as the colors break, if I'm dipping a different rates the colors can bind to different places than if they were all in the dyepot together. It is easier to think about this with two colors, say Blue & Pink. If I were to dip dye in blue and then dip dye in pink, I may still have something that looks very similar to a broken violet, but depending on how fast or slow I dip you may see the colors shift in a different way. Maybe this is one I should do - a hand mixed violet versus blue and then pink.
This is beautiful yarn. I would love to see how you could get the same results, but using commercial dyes. They give you predictable results, but behave differently.
I don't have as much luck with many commercial dyes when I dip dye to break the colors. At least not premixed colors... I think if you add radioactive or fluorescent fuchsia to just about any other color and then you may see some breaking. ;)P
I have a Laundry Alternative Nina Soft Spin Dryer which isn't on the market anymore I don't think. I haven't reviewed the newer version, but here is my review of it: ua-cam.com/video/cDMp-qz1Yf4/v-deo.html
Dose of solution... I got 100ml of 1% stock. I break them half with water. 50/50. That is 0,5%? And when I break that again 50/50 how much is it? 0,25 or 0,025%?
If you add 100 mL water to your 100 mL 1% stock, you will have a 0.5% stock (0.5 g dye / 100 mL). If you add 200 mL of water to the 200 mL 0.5% stock you will have a 0.25% stock (0.25 g dye / 100 mL) So yes.
Some greens break - depending on what is mixed in them. I believe I've dip dyed almost every icing color in various livestreams over the years. If the green has red on the label then we likely got fun breaking.
I'm so sorry about that! Color breaking is when a color mixture splits into the different colors of that mixture while dyeing. (Eg. a purple splitting into pinks and blues.) This happens because the different dyes can bind to yarn at different rates, where one binds faster than the others so one spreads out more. it's a lot of fun to play with.
Both of these skeins are currently still available in my Etsy shop! www.etsy.com/listing/1027098013/variegated-worsted-weight-yarn-100

What fabulous results! You make it all seem so simple. Thank you so much for your channel: I can't stop watching your videos!
Thank you so much! Ultimately, dyeing yarn can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. One of my goals is to make it really approachable. :D

I love both skeins. This is all new to me and it's fascinating.
Thank you!
The double dip dyeing produced some very rich and unique colors🥰.
Thank you! Dip dyeing in food coloring can be such a surprise sometimes even when I can somewhat predict what to expect now. I LOVE it. :D
I love hearing you talking about the science behind how things work!
Awe, thanks! I love thinking about the why behind everything.
I've been on another binge and I just love your infectious personality and I'm learning so much regarding both food coloring and acid dyes this is just amazing of you to share and do with us all ❤❤
I'm so glad you're going through and enjoying this! This combination of teal and copper was such an exciting discovery during a livestream once.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials I'm a major sucker for teal 🤣🤣
Ohhh my gosh. This yarn is phenomenal! Bravo Rebecca
Thank you so much, Julia!!

This looks like a copper patina especially the rust color with the teal that is beautiful
It does!!
I like the orange-ended skein best.
I'm still surprised they turned out so different. (The teal breaking was so subtle I wasn't sure if it would be dramatic)
Love all of your videos. They are a delight to watch. I love your enthusiasm.
Thank you so much, Jessica!
I love your personality, voice, and excitement! That’s why I follow you! (Your yarn dyeing is pretty awesome, too.)
Thank you! I don't mind if others find me cringy. I get super excited when it comes to yarn and certain projects. :D
Just lovely! I really saw the breaking and the shift in colourswith the copper. I may have to try that.
You should! It is a super fun color. I almost wish I did violet and copper to really show two exaggerated breaking examples, but these colors are so pretty I'm not that sad.
Wow that was so interesting and unexpected. The yarn reminds me of weathered copper. Thank you for another mind opening experiment.
Glad you enjoyed it!

You're very welcome!
Beautiful colour combinations!
Thank you! 😊
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
Those are so beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
This is so New Mexico in feel! Love it!
Thank you!
I love this yarn!!!
Thank you!

Oh thank you! Welcome to the channel.
I want to dye one of them regularly with the teal and then dip dye in the copper now!!
YES!!
Super super beautiful
Thank you so much!
Those are both so pretty 😍
Thank you! 😊
@@ChemKnitsTutorials You're welcome :)
These are beautiful!! I’m not sure Which one I like the best.
Thank you! 😊
I LOVE this!!!!
Thank you so much!
💘 love color
Thank you!
It would also beautiful with fuchsia
It would be lovely with that color for sure. I don't think that one breaks, though. I haven't played with that one much.
2nd video, want to do this ...💖
You should! And welcome to the channel!

I am curious would it make any difference if you changed the order and dipped in the copper first?🧐
It may have made a difference... but it would have been harder for me to figure out how fast to dip the teal because that is so subtle.
This is beautiful yarn. I would love to see how you could get the same results, but using commercial dyes. They give you predictable results, but behave differently.

J'aurai préféré 1 dégradé de bleu... intéressant de voir comment ça se passe....😲😁
I love just the blue gradient on its own, too!
It is really interesting what you do. You are very creative. I was wondering, what do you knit with a skein of yarn like that? Thank you so much.
For a colorway like this I might do a hat or mittens. The colors will pool in fun spirals for those types of projects. And thank you!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.

Reminds me of breaking McCormick’s black.
It does a bit, for sure!
Have broken a true green yet? Like an emerald or spring ?
Some greens break - depending on what is mixed in them. I believe I've dip dyed almost every icing color in various livestreams over the years. If the green has red on the label then we likely got fun breaking.
You didn’t explain what breaking dye means
I'm so sorry about that! Color breaking is when a color mixture splits into the different colors of that mixture while dyeing. (Eg. a purple splitting into pinks and blues.) This happens because the different dyes can bind to yarn at different rates, where one binds faster than the others so one spreads out more. it's a lot of fun to play with.
Good videos. But her overacting and voice when she’s doing the greetings, etc... is annoying.
Thank you for the feedback! Sometimes I get too overexcited for a project.
Oh Lord, get over yourself...
