The instructions were perfect. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Thank you for your tutorial.

I’m actually glad you forgot the acid so we could really see the difference in color binding with and without it. You’re a fabulous teacher!

Confession: I have dye stocks from 2014. Oddly enough they seem fine.

Lots to think about next time I hit my dye pots. 💜💜💜

Always prefect

I am looking to make my second Cabled GENEie Cap and I’m wondering how I could translate this pattern for a fingering weight yarn; Thoughts?

Lol! Your timer went off right at 7:00am and I thought my alarm was going off! 😂

Just received my skein of this dyed yarn. It is soo beautiful that I had to watch the video again. At first, I thought that I had the wrong video with the yellow, turquoise and pink dyed yarn but then.......WOW

I am so excited for the Halloween yarn!

Ooh just listened to the end of your video - don't go above 2% WOF for iron, it will ruin the wool! Xxx

Also, logwood usually packs a real punch, so I'd possibly question the quality of the dye extract if you repeat the test with less water and higher WOF%. And you should have lots of dye left over for 1 or 2 exhaust baths 😅🤔 Logwood works well in a solar dye method too! I'd also leave your yarns to cool in the mordant bath overnight too ❤ Love your videos as I don't know much about acid dyeing but know more about natural dyeing, so it's nice to see your experiments!! ❤ awesome you got such great results from Indigo! I'm yet to set up a vat, but I think this year I shall finally get round to doing it! Thank you for the inspiration/push ❤😅xxx

I never thought I would be interested in such complicated dyeing, but it is so pretty that I may; Please do some shows with acrylic. I used Baby Bee Sweet Delight for yarn ties, thinking that they would not dye. They turned the same color as the wools; The yarn is 40% polyamide, which, I think, is what takes the dye.. I love it for making children's toys. I also used it for a African Wildflowers shawl that I dyed in 96 colors. Because of the waste, It was costing me a fortune to dye small amounts of alpaca. I switched to the acrylic and the whole shawl was $15.

My library is having a indigo dyeing session. I went to sign up and it was all filled. Made me want to cry!

No, not the black.😢 I'd really love to see some other deep pigment used, like a dark green or burgundy or a brown or grey.

Like looking through the mist - beautiful 💕

Do you ever feel unhappy with a color and then process it again in a dye bath? Does it affect the yarn by processing it multiple times?

I'm loving the results. Wow! Just wow!

Don't like the black part.

Never heard of alpaca super wash. I use a lot of camelid yarn as I am not allergic to it. I accidentally put a pair of alpaca fingerless mitts in with my regular cold wash (left in a pocket) and dryer. Came out felted and super soft. I only made scarves hats mitts or shawls with it. Recently I found that I am not allergic to superwash merino. No irritation or hives! Having fun with wool for the first time! Interested in results of your experiment!❤❤😂🎉

For some reason this makes me think of butterflies. I wish Knit Picks would come out with a bunch of new bare yarns!

I love how both yarns came out. They're like dusky gem tones.😍🧶✨

Im curious what would happen with jacquard pink instead of fluorescent

I like all of your Dyepot Weekly videos, but I especially enjoy them when they involve comparisons or alternative fibers. So this one was a double delight.

So pretty! I'm looking forward to seeing the full process of these colourways. Yummy.

Can this technique be done with RIT dye?

I really would like it if you were to do a video on safe disposal of artificial and natural dyes and mordants. Disposing of leftover mordant baths, depending on which metal it is made from, can be dangerous to kids and pets if dumped out in the back yard willy-nilly, and if copper sulfate gets into a storm drain that leads to a local stream or river, it can play havoc on the water course's ecosystem.

I remember from the textile arts class I took back in my Freshman year of high school, we used alum for our mordant bath. We added the yarn skeins to it and gently raised the heat to a simmer and soaked our yarn in that for a while. It has been over 40 years since then so I can't recall the exact amount of time but since the class time was only an hour, it was definitely less than that. Since it was a once a week class, our teacher had us hang up the mordanted yarn to dry. The following Wednesday we used yellow onion skins to make our dyebath which we strained into a different dye pot and sealed it up to finally dye the yarn the following Wednesday. Our instructor put the mordanted skeins into a tub of water to pre-soak about an hour before the class started. We added the skeins to the dye bath and slowly raised the heat to just below boiling. After the yarn was the color we wanted (a bright golden yellow) we removed half of the skeins from the dye bath and put them in a flat pan to cool before washing it. Then our teacher added the iron salts to the dyebath (I think that she had added them to warm water to dissolve them) and that is when we saw the color shift on the yarn. The iron shifted the golden yellow yarn to a darker, browner shade of gold. She told us that iron will make the yarn more brittle, so you don't want to leave your yarn soaking in it for extended periods of time. I had planned to do natural dyeing this summer but "life happened" and I haven't had a chance to do anything with it. I am very interested in working with cochineal and using calcium carbonate and iron to see what color shifts they would cause.

just wondering what would happen if you started with a coloured (I'm English so you get a u) yarn, would a pink go purple or a yellow go green?

Because the indigo exhausts, would tthere have been an even broader range if you had started w one mini skein and added a mini skein with each dip? - producing a lighter lightest, with maybe a more even coverage. Thinking out loud … Great fun! Thank you.

Yes! Please indigo dye some wool. Does indigo only work in a soda ash ph solution? What happens without soda ash?

I was so happy to hear you say the synthetic and natural indigo are the same molecule- it’s an argument my microbiology trained daughter has with people about chemicals all the time!! Love the gradient 💕

It reminds me of thoae chromatography strips people have when they make comprehensive swatchss of fountain pen ink. Really cool!

That Indigo series is so interesting. What a pretty gradient.

This is awesome

This is a way cool series of videos. Thank you for turning your hands blue for us so we can see how it’s all done

Really enjoyed the video! Makes me want to try dyeing again. Just wondering what you washed your yarn with afterwards?

i remember wearing jeans and my legs turning blue. the fade is very pretty.

Love this! All the indigo videos have been interesting, but I'm a huge fan of fade sets!

This is really awesome! A super great explanation of a cool concept with really great footage of the phenomenon! Thank you for sharing 😊

This is a fascinating series. Can't wait to see what's going to happen next! Now I'm wondering about overdyeing-indigo over color _OR_ new color over indigo. Would the order of applying the two different dyes make any noticeable difference?

I’m guessing if those were in your shop they sold quickly. I didn’t see them 😢

This is exactly the spell I was talking about last time. When you wring and press the material under the obial surface and then take it out of the vat and watch the white material turn blue. That is magic of the indigo!!

What a pretty gradient. Watching it turn from green to blue is a lot of fun.

Love the very organic process.

This was such an enlightening video! I like to see different ways to use dye to enhance yarn. ❤

How cool!

What a shame to miss Green Day!

Yes more overdyeing videos. I love the surprise ending.

Now Id love to see it crocheted or knitted up!❤❤
