Let's talk about your hand made ball of yarn, is freaking perfect!
😍😍😍 🥰🥰
Thank you for all the details you put into your tutorial. You don't assume we know anything, which is just what I like. You're so fun and bubbly to watch and your husband does a great job editing! I'm a huge fan of your yarn.
Thank you!! ❤️
Wow! I've been watching you for years, since Alaska, and you are so smooth and polished. Excellent work!
Thank you Karen! ❤️
Thank you! This is so cool! I can't wait to run around my chairs and do something beautiful like the yarn you showed us here! ~Catalina
Awesome! It is so much fun!
Thank you for the simplicity. I enjoyed this video. You took the mystery out of this intimidating kind-of-project. I can't wait to try dying some yarn.
Nice! Happy Yarning! ❤️
Love the oops....that is me on a daily basis!!! Now for my observations.... you know how we do. That was the best self striping tutorial I have seen. You made it dummy proof, plus showed me how I could yarnercise (exercising while playing with yarn). I have no shame with my fiber feelings.
There is no shame in our fiber game! We need to start a yarnecise class! 😂😂😍😍❤️😘
As always.....LOVELY!!! I will be trying this...as soon as the weather gets cold.....Thank you for an awesome tutorials. BTW....LOVE your sweater....
It came out so pretty!!! I’ve dyed a couple things and have really enjoyed it. It’s super fun!
Yes, Dyeing can be such a pleasurable experience! 😍😍
Fun tutorial! Can’t wait to try! And your video and editing skills are very well done 👍
Thanks! ❤️❤️
Looks fun .. I got a spinning wheel from krumski & sons for Christmas. I've been practicing for 2 days i was successful yesterday lol. The first day I couldn't petal and draf at the same time. Lol..then last night I did it yay....I watched your spinning wheel video.. helped me out alot . Thank you for all your great videos.
That is awesome! 💕
Thank you! I enjoy dying yarn and always looking at tutorials!

Thanks, Barbara!
This looks so fun!
I think it is! 🌸
Many years ago, a friend of mine started dying yarn for weaving. She used unsweetened Kool-Aid packets of cherry cola on a medium brown yarn one day. Not only did it look yummy but it smelled yummy too!
Yes! 👏
Love the colors
Thank You!
The stripe tip was so smart great video. Love the socks with your self striping yarn it’s beautiful. How awesome I must try this I’m thinking black and Yellow

This was awesome I may try dying yarn now
Yay! It's so much fun!
I am a new subscriber and so excited to see your very close to me in Charlotte NC!!!! I live close to the Cotswold area of Charlotte.
Yay! 😁 Welcome! ❤️
Wow! I checked out that sock pattern, skew, and wow! The instructions look very complicated. I don't know if my old brain and new knitting socks skills can accomplish that. But I'd sure like to try!
Don't hold back and try ! have fun and have a great day .
Yes! You should certainly give it a shot!
Thank you.
Cool !!!
😍😍
Great video! do you have by any chance the pattern for the gorgeos top you are wearing at the end of the video? i believe it was crochet? thank you!
Yes! It was called the Celosia. You can find it here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/celosia.html
Very interesting thanks for sharing. Did you make the top that you are wearing? I really like it. Blessings
Thank you for the compliment! Yes, the red top is one of the patterns on my website. I'll link to it for you here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/celosia.html
You are, as always, such fun while being informative. I think you'd be a great teacher for young kids, but I'm glad you're teaching us. You mention food coloring, which is what I use. I think the colors can be great, and more colorfast than some of the powdered dyes as well. Do you feel there is a quality difference between the two?
I think the difference is the variance in color that you can get with certain "professional dyes" that you would not be able to achieve with food coloring. Hope this helps!
Great Video.
Thank You!
Love it!!!!!!!! Will have to try that one day. What sweater are you wearing? Pattern?
😍😍 Thank ya! We are wearing the Celosia sweater: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/celosia.html
Awesome video ! And i just want to say I love that red you are wearing such a beautiful rich blend of colors. Do you sell that color in the shop? 😊❤
Hi there, very possible that we've sold that color in the past but with the many colors that we offer I can't tell if we currently do. Sorry about that. ❤️
Beautiful yarn and colors! Do you sell the bare resilient yarn for dyeing or only what you have dyed?
Yes, we do sell the bare resilient yarn. Here is the link" www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/alabaster-resilient-sock.html
I HAVE DIED IT WITH COOLAID!!!
I kind of want to do this!
Do it!
Your amazing
❤️❤️
I'm wondering if there are any other fibers that are able to be dyed like acrylic or cotton etc.
Sure! Other yarn is able to be dyed it is just a different process. Great question!
First love your videos, 2 please do a tour of the place you make your videos. It looks like a furniture showroom. 3 My other video idea is to do more knitting tutorials for worsted weight yarn. Your voice also is the bees knees.
We plan on having some videos on Worsted patterns soon!
I love your sweater, do you have the link for the yarn and the pattern?
Yes! You can find it here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/search.php?search_query_adv=celosia
How far apart are your chairs for making the big skein?
They were probably about 20 feet apart on the length and 10 feet apart on the length. 😊
Hi, can you dye Merino Roving???
How about washing it? does the dye come out at all? Does it bleed into the other colors or leech out onto other fabrics you're washing it with?
It's possible depending especially on the dye color that you'll see some additional bleeding. Once you've made something with your hand-dyed yarn, I suggest soaking it to wet block the finished piece to see if any of the dye is still bleeding out, and before washing it with other items, making sure the dye is fast.
@@ExpressionFiberArts Thank you! I love your channel. A devout follower for about a year, now. I just adore your sense of style and taste. You're my favorite!
One thing you forgot was talking how important it is to wear a mask when you are measuring the powdered colours. That is VERY important.
That is a great point! Thanks!
Video idea, closet tour to show us all of your knits and the stories behind some of them.
That is a great idea! ❤️
I know this is an older video, but everyone should wear a respirator mask that powder becomes airborne quick and is very very dangerous. . Also heat the fiber more so it will not bleed. Unless you are using a different type of acid dye follow a different video. All ways rinse fibers too. Please be safe.
Those are great tips. Anyone who is dyeing fiber should always follow the safety precautions for the product they're using.
Love the sweater you’re wearing at the end of the video , the color is beautiful, is that crocheted or knit ? And do you have a pattern ?
+Nelia M Agreed, & found it @ www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/celosia.html The pattern is crochet, called Celosia and the model is made with Oxblood CashSilk Sock yarn. The pattern is free this week then will sell for $7.00. Hope you get it in time :-D
Thanks, Abby! 😍
I agree. That is a beautiful sweater!
How to do a Self striping rainbow with arylic yarn?
Use a dye that works with acrylic. Then you are going to have to figure out how big you want your striping
What pH are you aiming for? What temp was the water? What ratios for grams of dye to grams of wool? ty
Since this video was reordered a while ago and Chandi doesn't dye yarn herself anymore she doesn't remember any details regarding this video. I'm very sorry about that.
But here is a source that might provide some guidance: www.ritdye.com/instructions/how-to-dye-yarn/#:~:text=For%20cotton%20yarn%2C%20add%202,and%20add%20to%20the%20dyebath.
I hope this is helpful. 💛
Nice video. Your instructions are awesome! You taught me how to knit. I started with your videos when I knew absolutely nothing. I have a request: Your ball of yarn is much neater than mine. Will you do a video on that when you have time? Also, I buy skeins at the store and commonly have a hard time finding the end in the middle of the skein. When this happens, I end up having to untangle a mess before I even start winding my ball of yarn. Is there a trick?
Do I have a video for you! ua-cam.com/video/Uki32eSWkEI/v-deo.html. Hope this helps!
Great video! and I love your sweater, looks like crochet? What pattern is that? Thanks!
Thank you. ❤️❤️! Yes, it is a crochet sweater! It is the Celosia sweater which you can find here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/celosia.html
That was fun! But 1 question why aren’t there lenses in ur glasses?
No real reason. I just enjoy wearing frames! (plus the glare from the lenses can sometimes be distracting on video). 😊
I have been knitting for 11 months...my year KNITTING ANNIVERSARY IS DECEMBER 7, 2017!!!!! I PLAN TO KNIT UP MY VERY FIRST PAIR OF SOCKS!!! I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE A SOCK TUTORIAL! !!
Come over to Ravelry and join us for the Expression Fiber Arts Knit-Along (we’re making socks!). We’d love to have you and help you with your first pair! www.ravelry.com/discuss/expression-fiber-arts/3826172
Thanks, Jennifer! 😍
How much money does it cost o make per skein? If the retail value is $30, how much would it cost to make that skein? Depending on the cost, I might have to look into that.
It depends on fiber content and quality, the cost of dyes, citric acid, etc. When you buy undyed yarn you often have to buy in bulk. For example, we order a minimum of 300 kg per yarn base. If you're just getting started, I'd look up wholesale undyed yarn companies who can offer small minimums. Hope this helps a little bit. ❤️
Hi! Do you have tips for helping/avoiding aching hands when crocheting? PS- your filmographer should do emotionally-heavy documentaries. It always looks so cool! And so does your yarn, of course!
Thank You! 😍😍. I have a blog post on how to avoid wrist pain while knitting. It might help you with your crocheting pain as well.... blog.expressionfiberarts.com/2012/01/01/my-wrists-hurt-from-knitting/
What dye did you use?
We use commercial grade dyes that we purchase in bulk, but Jacquard dyes are a good option for dyeing at home.
Is this dyes are natural?
Love this video! Love all your videos! You are a truely beautiful young woman .
You are so kind! Thank you! ❤️
video idea- blocking techniques with or without tools, sweaters before or after assembling and shawls. Weting spray misting vs soaking before blocking. The more i looked into how to block the more variables. Not only did it seem project related, but also fiber related. And socks, you need to block socks?Ugh, am so confused. Can you help remove the mysteries of blocking?
A comprehensive blocking tutorial is a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing!
Please how can I dye acrylic yarn
I would love to share, but unfortunately I don't know the process for dyeing it. So sorry. ❤️
@@ExpressionFiberArts thank you ✨
You should wash out the yarn after dyeing to remove any citric acid, vinegar or especially if you’ve used food colouring or koolaid to dye your yarn.
Great video! How about one on doing speckles on yarn when dying? Speckles are so awesome!
Thanks 👍😁
Love that suggestion! Thanks!
@@ExpressionFiberArts agreed
Where do u get the undyed yarn from?
We order in large quantities from the mill. If you are looking for smaller quantities, you might want to check with wholesalers. 😊
@@ExpressionFiberArts Lately I started Knitting and crocheting, I live in India and it is so difficult for us to find yarn with different shades and speckled so I wanted to dye by myself but it is so difficult to get yarn to dye
Yes, that is challenging. I would google wholesale yarn and you might be able to find small quantities of un-dyed yarn that people are willing to sell. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
@@ExpressionFiberArts thanks 😊
¡Super, super, super!. Thank you 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍Regards.
You are so welcome! ❤️
I have been going through all your videos. Trying this crochet out to stimulate my brain while recovering from brain surgery. I feel kind of silly for asking this but need some clarification as I'm trying your beenie. You use dk and the G hook if I recall correctly. The yarn itself to use a G do you literally look for yarn that says 4mm on the label? This is where I'm getting confused, the size hook to the size of the yarn.
Sometimes yarns will show you the suggested hook size, yes. But always try out a small swatch to make sure you like the match. Thanks!
@@ExpressionFiberArts well just tried my first beanie. Yeah it's shaped more like a doily lol not sure how I missed it up
lol what about ur sweater?! it's stunning.. ur design?? could u lead the way if we need to purchase it.. pls pls..
Hi Tina! Yes, that is the Celosia sweater that we designed. You can find the link to the pattern here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/celosia.html
I am trying to understand how you roll that yarn so perfectly with your hand.
😂 I do have a tutorial on how to self wind a ball of yarn if you are interested. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/Uki32eSWkEI/v-deo.html Have a wonderful day!
Chandi, do you sell bare yarn that we can dye?
Sure do! It is not in one centralized location. Which yarn base are you interested in?
@@ExpressionFiberArts
Hmmmm...yarn base? Um..well.... I'm a newbie to dyeing my own yarn. Which would you recommend for someone who has no clue what I'm doing?
I would find some cheaper wool at someplace like Michaels or JoAnn's craft store. I would practice on that before purchasing some of the more expensive yarn. I would start with a medium weight base, such as sport or worsted. One of the things to watch out for: animal fibers are easily dyed. Man-made fibers need specialized dyeing products. So, if you get a yarn that has a large content of man-made fibers, the color of your yarn won't be as rich. Hope this helps.
