Thank you, I look forward to spending time with you! 🙂

You are absolutely correct, it is for the best. I am incredibly happy it is over, and I'm looking forward to getting organized in our new apartment. Thank you so much for your kind words and healing wishes! ❤

Thank you! ❤

Thank you, that is so sweet of you! We have just made it through the move, and have landed in our new home. Everything will be alright. ❤

Thank you, I am happy to hear that! 🙂

I realized that later, yes. I just haven't seen it done like that before. 🙂

@ it’s relatively recent from wool2dye4. I love it. It’s been a lifesaver for me

@@desireeross9651 Ah, good to know! And yes, once I realized what it was it made perfect sense. 🙂

Thank you! ❤

Hello 🙂

You're welcome! 🙂

Thank you! I hope you will enjoy spending time with me. 🙂

I'm so happy to hear that - thank you! It was my intention to show exactly how it can be done, because there really isn't any mystery to it. I hope you have a lot of fun playing with yarns and dyes. 🙂

Thank you, that is so sweet of you! I'm happy I could inspire you. Have fun with the dye pots! 🙂

I'm happy to hear that! Have fun dyeing! 🙂

Ah, that is an interesting idea for a future video. For now, I can share that my notes are pretty much just bullet points, where I note what yarn I used, which dye and how much, how much water I used, and what technique I used. Technique can be i.e. that I added the dye to the water before adding the yarn, or that I used a teaspoon to sprinkle it over the yarn, or that I sprinkled dye by hand. In the webshop I have free downloadable dye sheets that might be of help, if you want to take a look at that. You can find them under 'Digital downloads' at anilovecreations.com. You can use any brand of color you like, and you can mix and match different brands, just make sure they are all acid dyes. Different brands do have different colors though, so a fuchsia color from one brand will not be identical with a fuchsia from a different brand, so you will have to just test and try until you find the combinations you are happy with. Start with small amounts of dye, and add on more as you go if you want a more vibrant and colorful result.

Thank you! I shall absolutely try that. I'm happy to hear you are feeling better now. ❤

@@anilovecreations Let me know if it help when you try it.

Thank you! 🙂

That is lovely. ❤Thank you for hanging out with me! 🙂

Thank you 🙂 Ah, that sounds like a bit more work for sure. Maybe you could outsource the gathering part to a friend? 🙂

@@anilovecreations I wish but none of my friends sew. I will have to do it anyways. I hope your move is going really well and smoothly

@@asurya8797 Thank you! I am spending this entire weekend packing and cleaning, there is so much to do! 🙂

@@anilovecreations best of luck 🙂

Thank you! 🙂

Thank you, that is so nice of you to say! ❤

In this video I'm using Jacquard Acid Dyes, Dharma Acid Dye and Colourcraft. Each video has the brand and specific color used listed in the description of the video. 🙂

Oh, thank you! That makes me very happy to hear. ❤

Not yet, but I would like to try my hand at it some day. 🙂

Thank you, that is such a lovely thing to say! ❤

Thank you! ❤

Thank you! ❤

Thank you. I fell head over heels in love when I saw it, and my biggest regret is not buying whole bolt of it, haha!

You're welcome! Do try to play around with yarns and dyes, it is so much fun! 🙂

Thank you! That is very sweet of you. 🙂

As soon as the water is closing in on boiling I turn the heat down enough for it to just stay hot. It is not supposed to boil or simmer, it should just be hot. The exact temperature may vary from stove to stove, so you need to just test what works best for yours. 🙂

Tack! 🙂Ja, puh, vilken värme det blev igen! Vi har supervarmt i dag, det är lite mycket av det goda rent av.

@@anilovecreations Samma här.

Haha! I sometimes flip it and sometimes don't, and it all just depends on what kind of effect/result I'm looking for. If I have a full pan of skeins and want to make sure there is color covering EVERYTHING I will always flip it, but if I want maybe just mostly speckles i.e. I might just twist the skeins slightly before putting them in the pan and just sprinkle dye on the top side. Since the yarn is then twisted, there will be speckles all around. So, it is simply a matter of what type of effect/result I'm looking for. 🙂

Thank you! ❤

Thank you! I really love wearing it, it is so comfortable. 🙂

Thank you! ❤

I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you! 🙂

Thank you! ❤

You can use different techniques in order to get the amount of sprinkles you want spread evenly on the skein. You can flip the yarn, and you can also twist it slightly before putting it in the pan. I haven't really had any issues where I would get speckles only on one side, usually the strands in the skein aren't consistently stacked in a way that makes that happen. I find it more a matter of how much speckles you want, and if you want a skein that is really heavily speckled I would absolutely flip it too.

Oh, thank you! But it really isn't difficult at all. Just play around with it and see what happens, and don't pour in all the colors in vast amounts. 🙂

That is amazing. Australia is literally on the opposite side of the world from me, and having viewers all the way on the other side of the world is truly fascinating. I hope you enjoy my videos! 🙂

I'm happy to hear that! 🙂

Thank you, that is so sweet of you! I did try measuring with the edge but laying the measuring tape flat, but you're right, it would probably be way easier if I used it on edge. Thank you for the tip! 🙂

😂

Well, that depends how you see it. Buying a shirred dress off the rack from one of the chains that sell what we would call "affordable clothes" would absolutely be cheaper if you add in the hours it took to make the one I made (and we all know why off the rack clothes can be so cheap...the people sewing them aren't getting paid what they ought to be). But this dress is custom made for my body, and to buy a custom made dress from a professional seamstress or tailor (who gets paid what they should for their time and skills) would be MUCH more expensive. I mostly can not find clothes off the rack that fits the body I inhabit today in a proper way, because the fashion industry is not built on the principle of there being clothes that fits everyone. It is built on the opposite - that we need to fit what is made. Which is the whole reason I started doing this. I aim to inspire others to not be afraid to try to make clothes for themselves, that are custom made for their bodies, because there are so many of us struggling to find clothes that actually fit well and are comfortable to wear. And because the fashion industry really needs to change, but let's not open that can of worms today. In short: Yes, you can find a shirred dress for cheaper. But no, you can not find a shirred dress custom made for your body that cost this little to make. 🙂

@@anilovecreations only asked cause I was thinking of trying to make my own cloths, I am a bigger girl with no breasts so trying to find anything that fits and isn't designed with big busted girls is difficult

@@anilovecreations here in Australia I am looking at $70 - $160 AUD for a dress you just made.

@@josparadiseofcolor I realize I was going off on a bit of rant before - sorry about that! It was not directed at you, I'm just very frustrated with the fashion industry as a whole. I have the exact same issue. Small bust, big everything else, and on top of that I'm short. Finding clothes that fit right off the rack is mostly impossible for me. I would absolutely recommend making your own clothes, because it is such a relief to have clothes that fit well and that you feel comfortable in. It's a game changer, you feel like a whole new person. As for cost, it would of course depend on the price of the fabric, and whether or not you want to calculate the cost of the time it takes you to make it. What I do is I have a list of things I want to make, and then I shop for fabrics for future projects when there are discounts to keep the cost down. I also buy second hand and I have recently started to look into buying leftover stocks online (I'll probably make a video about that in the future). That means I sometimes buy fabric for projects that won't be started for another year or more, but when I do start it, I already have the fabric at hand. Same thing for yarns, if I'm planning on buying yarn for a specific project.

@@josparadiseofcolor Then my dress is absolutely cheaper, if we only take the fabric, thread and shirring elastic into account. This particular fabric I got from Amazon (I don't usually buy fabric from there, but I wanted to test it to see if that would be a reasonable option), and I paid approx. $46 AUD for it.

I haven't, but you could absolutely do that too. I suspect one would have to be a little more careful when applying the dye, and just adding it slowly to the yarn so that the yarn has time to soak it all up in the places you want it to be, and not run into the sections where you don't want it. I might try this in the future. 🙂

Det är troligen så vi kommer få göra, ja.

@@anilovecreations OK. Hoppas det går bra.

@@nian60 Tack 🙂

Oj, den här kommentaren syntes inte förrän nu för mig! Ledsen att jag inte svarat. Ja, jag håller med dig, den svenska hyresmarknaden är inte riktigt klok.
