I was sick last night so missed the opening premiere of the long awaited Chanukah Special!
Love the speckles! LOVE the yarn mops. With every video I watch, I’m more excited to try my hand at dyeing. Thanks Rebecca 😁
Thank you 😊!
Happy Chanukah! I love the way the one came out with the two speckles applied separately, but they all came out absolutely lovely!
This was so much fun to do!
Skein 1 is soooo soft and lovely! Even the yarn mops came out gorgeous
Thank you so much! :D
Happy Chanukah! Love my mini, and looking forward to opening the next one!
I'm really excited for you guys to see all of them!
Happy Chanukah Rebecca great speckling tonight. I think i figured out which one i got. Very pleased!
This was a VERY informative experiment for me!
Happy Chanuka! Loved this video. You are the queen of dying creativity!
Awe, thank you Cheryl!
Lovely! Can’t wait to see all the other nights.
I'm soooo excited for tonight. :D
Beautiful!!
I adore speckled yarns.
I'm so glad! I have been wanting to do this project since the summer and it seemed to fit perfectly for a day when I needed to dye a LOT of yarn. :D
Love the yarn mops. Wow love the speckles. Great job.
Thank you so much!
Happy Chanukah, everyone!
Happy Chanukah to you and yours!
Thank you!
Beautiful and very interesting! Happy Chanukah!
Happy Chanukah!
Love the colors!!
And I LOVE LOVE LOVE your crochet square!
I love my mini skein from this episode.
YAY! I'm so so so glad!
I didn’t get to order but so glad I get to watch the process.
I love that I can create something that everyone can enjoy. It is truly a gift from my heart to all of you.
oh my these are lovely!!
Thank you so much!
Love all of the speckles. Having so much fun with hanukkah. 🥰🧶🐐🐑🦙🐫🧶🥰
YAY! Thank you so much!
Ha!! Love the chem nerd in you! Competitive binding on surface of crystals!
In the mixed powder trial, it gives me the impression that 1)the dyes do stick together when you mix them, and 2) the blue is just a lot more mobile in the water/wet wool. Speckles are kind of like little comets with both colors in the initial speck and a tail of blue migrating out. Soooo have you ever done other observations of the powders themselves? Compared size of dye particles under microscope, or done a little kitchen chromatography from a mixed dot of dye powder/paste , or of a solution of the two together? do these dye cellulose? I guess you need a situation where the dye doesn’t dye the chromatography paper... on the other hand, maybe the blue migrates farther because it doesn’t bind the wool as rapidly?
I live in Korea, and I love your video💕💕💕
Hi I'm new to your channel and I just wanted to say that from watching this video and your use of the mini skeins I had the idea to start putting a little mason jar with water to the side when I'm dyeing with powder to clean off my gloves; worked like a charm!! My gloves get clean and I get to save all that color goodness for a future dye project :) Really enjoying all your videos!
YAY! I love playing with those mystery mixtures at the end of a day of dyeing. :D
I am SO excited! It's been killing me to not open those packages. :) I am using my menorah stitch marker right now, working on making my brother's Christmas present as I watch this. (Oh, and since I know you are a Star Wars fan... I'm using it while I make The Child.)
Eeeek! That's awesome. I had so much fun making stitch markers. There was something soothing about that too. (And shopping for charms. I LOVE the menorah so much!)
Do u knit with your yarn mop? Never heard about that. It's genius. I really love all your videos.
I'm now trying to remember if I've knit with one personally. I sell them in my Etsy shop and I know others have knit with them! :D Thank you so much tapcat!
Hi. I 🧡 Your Videos. Pls don't change Your Way or the way how you explain and tell about it. You gave me some nice inspiration for dyeing my Yarn. Even your "lovely accidentally" dyeing is so charming.
I have ordered now some "foodcolors".
On my list to order some other colours: RIT synthetic.
Thx 💐💐
I've certainly had to make adjustments to the way I film my content due to the pandemic. Overall I try to share my uncertainty and mistakes because It is about the process as much as the recipe. :D
@@ChemKnitsTutorials 💐💐💐
As I said, it's the charming way.
I'm an NewBie in dyeing yarn.
The pandemic Time makes me also sometimes 😯😲😞
That's a good reason to prove something fresh. And.....I'm happy to saw your Tutorials and find something new.
I like your NiddyNoddy.
💐💐
Pure delight.... Just received my Chem knits Chanukah mini skein sampler. A surprise for me to open just after watching your video. Xxxxx
Awesome! I really hope you enjoyed the sampler.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials very much. Thank you x
I LOVE your videos and have learned SO MUCH from them. However, when you speak through a mask, I miss most of what you are communicating. A voice-over of those parts would be REALLY helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!
Thank you so much for this feedback!
Happy Hanukkah beautiful lady. Wishing you wonderful days.
Thank you, Janine! Happy Chanukah to you, too!
Rebecca, thanks for this awesome tutorial. In the first technique where you have the hands laid out on the table and speckle with the dry dye/citric acid combos, is the yarn damp or dry? I'm wondering and trying to get my speckles not to bleed so much :)....
The yarn is damp. If the yarn is dry the dye won't be able to bind. You do want damp vs sopping for sharper speckles.
I held my my mini skien while watching trying to figure out which group ot came from. I was only able to narrow down the ones it didnt come from, some of the results are very similar.
Some of the results are extremely similar. I'm super glad that I went though this exercise because I was able to narrow down what did and didn't make a difference.
Wondering if using a salt shaker for sprinkling would give a better result.
I didn't like using a salt shaker because I felt that I dumped color in spots and got light coverage elsewhere. I prefer my fingers. BUT everyone has their own preference. :D
Have you tried using a shaker? Like a salt shaker?
I have, and honestly I prefer using my fingers. I can control where and how much dye comes out a bit better. I'm sure I could gte better with a shaker, but overall I didn't like the flow as much.
Ohh, so this would also work with 3 or however much colours!! 🤔☺️
Yes! You don't always see pure blending in a mixture, but depending on how things are coated you may.
Ok I’m wondering if some dyes are holding just enough moisture that they will combine. For instance The way that dharma true black is a finer powder that doesn’t clump vs dharma radioactive that clumps (I am guessing there is more moisture in radioactive) and maybe the way citric acid is sticky it also has just enough moisture to combine powders.
I wonder if two of the fine powder dyes that don’t clump like dharma true black and dharma fluorescent fuchsia would combine less.
Omg I am so grateful for this experiment!! I had put together a mix of dry dyes into a shaker and was so disappointed it came out looking combined.
But This is cool info because now i know I’m not crazy lol and I have several new speckle colors based on whether I use them separately or mixed.
Awesome video
I wonder about moisture now, too! Too bad that would be harder for me to measure/control! This is a video that has been in my head for a long time. I feel so much better and have a better understanding of my speckle mixtures!
Dharma Deep Magenta 411 is an acid dye, while Dharma True Turquoise 424 is a direct dye (which still can be used to dye protein fibers), but I wonder if that affected the experiment at all? Just an interesting side note; great video.
Hmmm... even in the acid dye collection? I wasn't aware of that. I honestly don't know much about commercial pigments.
I love these techniques! Love the mini skeins! WHAT can you do with mini skeins? Well I have a pair of socks I have been working on for over a year... and they are many different mini skeins with white stripes in between. They will be posted on your FB page. Really love your colors. You have the best yarn mops! ~Marie
Oooo this sounds awesome! I have an idea of what I'm going to do with my (short set - less than 10 g skeins 😉) but I also know what is coming up.
Minis make really cool gloves. Each finger can be a different color. A pair of gloves requires 100 grams of fingering weight yarn for my huge hands.
@@davidhensley76 I think I'm going to do some fingerless mitts. ;)
@@ChemKnitsTutorials Make them from undyed yarn and then dip-dye them in Wilton royal blue.
@@davidhensley76 Neat idea! I just posted my socks [in progress] on ChemKnits Lab[?] Good idea about different fingers have different colors.
Couldn't you have just used a small pepper shaker instead of your fingers to literally get a true speckled look??
Great question! I actually find salt/pepper shakers make it harder for me to control where hte dye goes. I end up with larger masses versus a light dusting. So this works a bit better for me personally. :D
