Dyeing Superwash BFL Yarn (Bluefaced Leicester Wool) - Space Dyeing with Leftover Dyes
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
This is super helpful, thank you!!!
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.
Polyamide (nylon) is one of the few synthetics that you can dye with acid dyes. The polyamide structures is similar to the proteins that are in wool etc (proteins are polyamides). Acrylic and polyester won't work with this type of dyeing, but you CAN dye wool/acrylic blends!
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.
Dark green would be really pretty!!
Like looking through the mist - beautiful 💕
😊 thank you
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 don't often feel unhappy with the finished color because of my approach of "I wonder what will happen if I do xyz" (Whether that is a technique, combining colors, etc.) however, you absolutely can overdye yarn if you're not happy with the final color. Processing it multiple times should be fine. If the fibers are more delicate then maybe I would be concerned (if it had a super fuzzy halo I might worry about felting.) But I've done 3 -4 step dyeing processes on different colorways before.
I'm loving the results. Wow! Just wow!
Thank you so much!
Don't like the black part.
That's fair! The black took over everything a bit.
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!❤❤😂🎉
That's wonderful you're not allergic to superwash wool and can play with it! WIth all superwash yarn I'm more inclined to hand wash anyway, but this is more because i"m afraid of things stretching or blocking funny by accident.
For some reason this makes me think of butterflies. I wish Knit Picks would come out with a bunch of new bare yarns!
They have had a couple bare options in the last year or so, and I think there may be some coming up. Fingers crossed! (I learned talking with some of the employees that when a yarn doesn't have a white in the line, then the bare option is in the listing with the rest of the yarn as the white vs its own listing.)
@@ChemKnitsTutorials Oooh, they've just put up a new yarn line, Yakish! Baby alpaca, superwash merino and yak. No bare version so far, but Gull and Mica look like good overdying options.
I love how both yarns came out. They're like dusky gem tones.😍🧶✨
Thank you so much!
Im curious what would happen with jacquard pink instead of fluorescent
I haven't used Jacquard pink in a while! I think it would strike faster and spread less, but I could be wrong!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials that has been my experience.
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.
Thank you so much! It is fun to do things side by side - especially when we see some differences! :D Negative results are fun, too, but I love a good contrast.
The Superwash Sock Yarn is available on Etsy! chemknitscreations.etsy.com/listing/1775677661
So pretty! I'm looking forward to seeing the full process of these colourways. Yummy.
Thanks so much 😊 One will be a "dyeing to knit" video so I'll show off thefinished hat in there, too.
Can this technique be done with RIT dye?
Sure! A little rit can go a long way, so I'd start with less color and build it up
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.
This is a great suggestion. This is one reason why I don't use copper sulfate for a mordant even though it can apparenty make cool colors.
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.
I also read that I can dry out the mordanted yarn, which maybe is something I should plan to do so I can prep more yarn in advance. My earthues instructions say that it can cool in the pot shorter than overnight, but sometimes it is just more practical to let it sit overnight based on my schedule.
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?
It could! It depends on how long the dips are and the intensity of the original color. I think in the first indigo video this year I overdyed yarn with some purple specks and those got covered up. But many natural dyeing books suggest dyeing a yellow in a kettle and then overdyeing with indigo to get greens. I'm excited to give it a shot someday!
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.
This is a really good question. I tihnkt he range would have been more subtle - because if the amount of dye is reduced, you would get less dye with each dip if you add more yarn - giving a softer range. But it is hard to say. I didn't dye anywhere near the 5 lbs of fiber this was enough for so it shouldn't have been reduced too much. I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to do a length of dip dye experiment to keep things as consistant as possible. I think I'd do a short dip first 30 seconds) before doing a longer dip (multiple minutes). This way if the second one is darker it isn't because there was less dye - but if the colors are the same then it measns that the length of dip isn't as important. Maybe. :D
Yes! Please indigo dye some wool. Does indigo only work in a soda ash ph solution? What happens without soda ash?
This hydrosulfite vat needs the soda ash. There are different types of indigo vats you can set up which are more friendly to wool fibers - but my attempt to make an iron vat in the past failed horriby so I tried to extract the indigo and then reserect it as a hydrosulfite vat.
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 💕
A natural product is still a nautural product if you make it in the lab vs extract it. The important distinction is that it was discovered from a natural source. Extractions can be expensive and more labor intensive. (A blue pigment would be easier to purify because you can see it, but the solubility issues may make it complicated!) The main problem with indigo - is that indigo is a color name in adition to the name used for the natural source. So there are "indigo dyes" out there that aren't the natural indigo pigment. Those don't require the whole vat set up. Which still makes them fun and beautiful to play with, but aren't the same as this green to blue science magic that happens.
It reminds me of thoae chromatography strips people have when they make comprehensive swatchss of fountain pen ink. Really cool!
YES! Very much like that. Sometimes I call it yarn chromatography
That Indigo series is so interesting. What a pretty gradient.
Thank you!
This is awesome
Thank you!
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
I'm so glad you're enjoying it!! Thank you!
Really enjoyed the video! Makes me want to try dyeing again. Just wondering what you washed your yarn with afterwards?
I use some clear dish soap for washing the yarn. Sometimes generic brand something scent free. Occasionally I may use synthrapol if there is a bleeder, but that dries out my hands so I don't use it that often.
i remember wearing jeans and my legs turning blue. the fade is very pretty.
My hand went through an awkward phase where just the deep groves/wrinkles in my hand were still blue and it make my hand look super old. Of course, I foudna color removing scrub in my dye accessories box that I hadn't tried for years AFTER this was all done. lol.
Love this! All the indigo videos have been interesting, but I'm a huge fan of fade sets!
Thank you!!
This is really awesome! A super great explanation of a cool concept with really great footage of the phenomenon! Thank you for sharing 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
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?
The order probably wouldn't make a difference, although I don't know about dyeing yarn with acid dyes and then puttiing it in an indigo vat. Those conditions would likely disrupt the interactions between acid dyes and wool..... Fiber reactive dyes should be fine, though, since those form covalent bonds with cotton.
I’m guessing if those were in your shop they sold quickly. I didn’t see them 😢
These haven't gone into my shop yet. I'm hanging onto some of the indigo items for a bit as I may need photos for another project. The good news is that I'll have this for a comparison with other projects I do until I'm ready to list 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!!
It does feel magical!
What a pretty gradient. Watching it turn from green to blue is a lot of fun.
It is soooo 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!
THank you!
What a shame to miss Green Day!
I know!!! I wish I could have gone.
Yes more overdyeing videos. I love the surprise ending.
Now Id love to see it crocheted or knitted up!❤❤
