I got so excited when I saw a notification that you were dyeing silk.
Yay! This was a long time coming. :D
The best way to learn is to go for it and try. It's so true. You gave me the courage to try and even more important to say to myself "it's ok if it doesn't work out the way I thought".
This is my favorite type of comment to be sure! I spent so much time not waiting to try because I was afraid that I would mess up.
As you said, not everyone can have a bunch of undyed yarn at a time, so I definitely use your videos to see what works and what doesn't. You've helped me a lot in my dyeing journey!
YAY! This is one of my goals for sure. I know I'm fortunate to have been able to turn my hobby and passion in to a business, which gives me access to more resources than I had when I was starting out.
I enjoy your videos so much. I love how much my wife gets out of what you do. She's only at the KoolAid stage, but she's had such great results!
This is awesome! KoolAid is such a great place to start. I have a lot more food coloring videos coming up with other fun techniques. :D
Your enthusiasm over the silk is very contagious. And although the pink isn’t as rich as the other yarn, the gray looks more silver then the other Yarns so the trade-off is kind of interesting. If you want to dye other colored Yarns then yes I would say go for the higher dye content, but that silver is stunning and should be done exactly the same way every time because it’s gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!
The silvery color is amazing. I think I'd increase the pink a lot but keep in the gray the way it was.
I loved the silk video, thank you! I dyed my own handspun mulberry silk fibre and it took the colour fabulously - wonderfully saturated colour and no felting. I wish I could use silk all the time :) By the way, if anyone is interested, after a bit of experimenting, I decided to knit the silk with linen stitch and I loved the result.
That sounds stunning!
Great advice on fear and dyeing. It’s very helpful. Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Silk is so satisfying!!! It works good with reactive dyes too. I did some samples with plant fiber baths, and the shine is amazing!
OOOO! I haven't tried silk with any natural pigments yet.
Which natural plant fibres did you use? 😊
You’ve tried something like procion on silk? What was your method? Soda ash ok on silk?
@@ronii1975 Cotton, mercerized cotton, and linen. Reactive dyes give such great results!
@@sleepydrJ Yes, reactive dyes on silk (both thread and fabric). I don't know why it works (chemically speaking), though. I used the same method and quantities as for plant fibers (cotton and linen). So far, I think my results are good, but I didn't do a lot of tests to see if I can/need to adjust the pH differently with soda ash. The silk takes the colour beautifuly, vibrantly, and keeps its shine. I have a soft spot for silk. :)
The silk is absolutely stunning! I love all three but in the end I went with the silk being my favorite. Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us.
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
I'm waiting for that 100% silk to come back in stock so I can get some more!
My absolute favourite colours together 😍. Thank you for letting us join you ❤️
My pleasure 😊 Thank you for watching!
I love this yarn and this colorway. My davorite Bamboo Pop colorway is the hot pink and gray. This reminds me of it so much. Just so beautiful.
thank you so much!
Love this colourway and love seeing the differences in the types of yarn.
Thank you!
The yarns are so pretty! I'm glad you had this video for I have some that I wanted to try and dye.
I'm so glad you found this video helpful. Thank you, Dawn!
I LOVED your sharing at the end!
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous I think I'll have to buy some. I'm sure you'll let us know if it goes on sale. So happy that you are happy and we are all happy watching you.
These have already sold out, unfortunately. BUT I do hope to dye a lot more silk blends in the future. Currently, this is the only colorway that I have on a 70/30 wool/silk base: www.etsy.com/listing/631403461/variegated-fingering-weight-yarn-7030?ref=shop_home_feat_2
That silk turned out beautifully!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful! Love the differences in each skein.
Thank you so much!
They’re all gorgeous!
Thank you so much!
So shiny! It turned out glorious!
thank you!
The silk is beautiful, but I like the blend of colour of the silk wool blend best. Thanks for another informative video.
Thanks for watching!
Many thanks for this video. I am learning dyeing with 50% sw merino 50% silk and this video has explained me so much things about thing
Glad it was helpful!
I would be so excited to see what you make with that silk skein! (Assuming it’s not going in your shop)
It went into the shop and got snagged up really quickly. I want to get more of the base for sure!
I think the type of silk makes a difference, too. I have dyed mulberry silk with both koolaid and wiltons, with minimal bleeding. Tussah silk, however was a nightmare of huge proportions and completely shifted color from purple to teal after drying in direct sunlight (shawl is still gorgeous).
Oh interesting! I'm sure that the type of silk make a difference for sure. I'll have to see about finding various 100% silk yarn someday.
Absolutely stunning
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous! I like how you love to play, I’m the same way.
Thank you so much!
I love your videos. You're so curious and positive, and I'm sure you've given lots of people (me included!) the confidence to start dyeing yarns themselves. (Incidentally, I've just received some pure silk and silk blend yarns that I bought from AliExpress, and they're both gorgeous and much cheaper than I can buy here in the UK. They take a while to arrive--two or three weeks--but the extra value is well worth the wait. It's worth investigating if you dye a lot of yarn.)
I'm so glad that I can help! It is fun to have an excuse to be curious and play.
Isn't it just? I spent today working on a dyeing triangle, following your videos. I have had so much fun, and have learned a huge amount. Thank you so much!
@@janesmith4617 You're so welcome!
Oh no! Bubble burst! You swear?!? Here was me thinking you were the consumate perfect person.😉
I'm amazed that I can usually avoid it when filming. I've only had to bleep myself a couple of times, and one of those I bleeped myself giving spoilers for a future chanukah video (since I published htem in a different order from filming)
SILK is actually one the most obsorbant fibers in the world. Great video!!
I think it could absorb a TON of color.
How beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
That is gorgeous, 100% silk. All of them are gorgeous tho
Thank you!
Omg i love the colors 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Silk is like water off a duck's back! Frustrating but BEAUTIFUL at the same time!
Thankfully this wasn't as hard as I had expected. Having the dye in a container with a lip helped a lot. otherwise I might have been more stressed out!
Silk turned out so good. Others look good too. I can’t wear wool as it makes me itch. So seeing silk makes me happy.
Oh I'm so glad you liked this video! I hope to get more of the 100% silk to play with in the future.
I saw the color Change also
I'm glad it wasn't just me!
This is gourgous yarn and colorway
Thank you so much!
I would love just a soft pink only.
That would be so pretty!
Beautiful. Yes you were wrong on your count though. 3,4&6 is 13.
I'm not surprised! Sometimes I write down notes as I go but other times I just transcribe after the fact during editing.
I have dyed wool blend with 20% silk and there's a marked difference between it, and in the 100% wool. I've just got some 55% merino and 45%. I want to do something really special, but like you I'm a little nervous. Even after dyeing upto 10kg a week of other wools.
You could see that I was super nervous in this video, too. I think I have a few more 100% silk scarves (mini scarves) that I might use to tests the limits of how much pigment the scarf can absorb. Of course each scarf is under 5 grams I think...
Many places have 100% silk yarn including Paradise Fibers that are cheaper than Knitpicks.
Yes! the KP one is very expensive.
Where can I find these type of yarn? Is there any supplier or place online or website where I could order this quality yarn? I love silk and silky looking material.
Also, a big thank you for you because I learned and opened my mind with your teachings. ❤🙏😊
I have a blog post where I share many suppliers of bare yarn: www.chemknits.com/2023/01/where-to-buy-bare-yarns-undyed-yarns-in.html I'll have the exact bases used in this video linked in the video description.
Is it difficult to dye dark red yarn? I do not see many videos or dyes with dark red colours.
It isn't that it is difficult, exactly. I just don't use red a lot. However, this month's #chemknitsdyealong featured red! That recap will be up in mid august but the livestream are out now.
Have you ever gotten around to dyeing a series of 100% silk minis?
No, not yet. I did get a bunch of 100% silk embroidery thread, so I HAVE the fiber to play with. :D
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Given some of the gorgeous colors you have created, you should be shot for adding the black and grey to the silk. Why not a mauve or teal or both with the red? Oh well do something awesome with the other skein please.
Do you have an etsy shop that you sell these in?
I do have a shop - chemknitscreations.etsy.com/ but I believe all of the colorways from this video have sold out. I hope to get more of the 100% silk to play with but it has been sold out for a while now.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials 😪😪bummer. You can't buy it from someplace else?
@@jacalynbledsoe3717 a lot of suppliers have shortages at the moment due to mill shutdowns /slowdowns in the pandemic. The few sources i order from the most are out of stock.
@@ChemKnitsTutorialsmaybe you could sweet talk your suppliers into telling you whom they supply silk to and then call around to those customers...lol...just a thought.
What effect does mild soap have on the acid dye process? It could make it easier to wet the silk. Or you might pre wet with slightly soapy water, rinse, then soak with acidic water?
I haven't done much scouring of fiber before dyeing, and this is something I want to explore for sure. Especially on some cotton that I have found to not be super absorbent. Some dyers use soap in the presoak but I haven't tried this yet personally.
Seide einweichen am besten über Nacht, oder mindestens 3-4 Stunden im heißem Wasser mit 1 Tropfen Spülmittel und 1 EL Essig in Schüssel.Spülmittel ist kein Muss, ohne und mit - ich habe keinen Unterschied gemerkt. Nur falls Sie nachher im Topf monofarbe färben- niemals Seide ausdrücken- ausgedrückte Stellen ziehen dann schneller Farbe ein , und werden dunkler. Somit wird das Ergebniss fleckig.Ich färbe oft, immer 600-800 Gramm Mulberry Seide , für Kleider, in Monofarben in 2 Töpfen.Immer einzelne skeins 50 gramm/850 meter im viel Wasser und viel sanft umrühren . Grundsätzlich braucht Seide mehr Farbe( x2, x3...) Manche Farben aber möglich durch Temperetur- Erhöhung bis 80 - 90 Grad zu intensivieren- Schwarz, Violett...❤
Isn’t silk supposed to be really strong? Also, would it be used mostly for shawls?
Silk can be incredibly strong, but it can also be super delicate. :D
Do you ever dye weaving thread? ie 10/3 mercerized cotton or 3/5 mercerized cotton.
I've dyed crochet cotton before, so maybe that is similar? ua-cam.com/video/0543_HU25JY/v-deo.html
@@ChemKnitsTutorials no it is similar to Aunt Lydia's 50 or 70. Very thin. If you can try sone 8/2 cottolin (60%cotton/40% linen blend) or cotton, you could open yourself up to weavers as well.
Would the color on the 100% silk turn out darker if the wool yarns weren’t soaking up more of the dye? Just curious.
In this case, the pigmentation difference was not due to the one skein absorbing more dye than the rest. Since the pan was so low immersion, the colors couldn't spread very much between the skeins. (And the colors looked SUPER similar until the yarn was dry.) The bigger difference is how the fibers look wet versus dry. Silk needs more pigment to have as deep a color as the wool does. This may be based on how the dye penetrates in the fiber, and things like that.
I've seen this with wool and wool/acrylic blends before, too. The 100% wool looked very similar to the 20% wool / 80% acyrlic when we dyed it... until the yarn was dry.
ChemKnits Tutorials that makes sense! Thank you so much for explaining it! I was dying mine separately for the different colors, so I wasn’t sure how that worked! Love your videos. You inspire me.
Hi Rebecca, is it possible to dye the silk yarn with Kool-Aid? As I don’t have much space to use acid dyes. Thanks 😊
It is! I haven't dyed 100% silk yarn with food coloring, but I have broken violet icing color on a 100% silk scarf. I've also dyed silk hankies for spinning with both KoolAid (snow dyeing) and other food coloring. You need a bit more acid and more color than you might for wool for something vibrant.
ChemKnits Tutorials thank you Rebecca 😊
Sorry Rebecca one more question, how many tablespoons of vinegar or citric acid would I need to add to the water? Thanks 😊
These colors remind me of Japanese art.
Thank you!
