I love the pure silk. It's like got a touch of Mother of Pearl.

Suggestion for the youtube book. What about mixing dye with water and then putting it in a spray bottle set to spray and see how that does with speckles? You could put acid in the dye water mix as well as a test.

I haven't started dyeing myself yet but when I do start speckling I plan on using one of those hand held collendars. They tend to be metal with a long handle with a round mesh area. They make some with larger holes and others with smaller. The smaller would make smaller speckles I think.

Now that's what I call a happy accident! :-) I might try the same with a navy blue as the base. Pretty!!

I love how the black adds a bit of drama. Love the sample. The last experiment, put in a plastic dish so its not stuck in the dish. You may have a better chance breaking it up.

im a stationary fan too bahaha

i was cringing when you added the black, but OMG tamsin that is stunning i may have to try this myself . thanks for sharing this amazing experiment xx

I wonder what would happen if you picked up some dye on a paint brush and flicked or tapped the dye off it 🧐😜

It turned out lovely.

Love the dyed floof. Not speckled, but super pretty. And that journal is gorgeous! Good on you for actually using it! I have a thing for collecting pretty stationary, and then thinking it's too pretty to use. ❤ Tamantha

Enjoy your chaos, cats & now notebooks & pens. I can't go by a stationery aisle w/o buying one!

Shame on me for doubting you. That turned out so beautiful and here I was Nay saying from the beginning to the end. I bow to you Captain Chaos❤

Oh my gawd, it's so pretty.😍😍

Love love love the harmonizing of the overdyed black. Call me a mud lover! The subtlety is gorgeous. Why do we love stationary? I’m so glad/sad that (unless you’re in a big rich city) there are no more stationary stores! Light blue rag paper, mmmm, dreamland! Thank you for the fun video!

Experiment successful 👏👏👏

😍❣️♥️🤩

"Don't poke it!!!" Lol, the struggle is real.

Wow. I have to give this a go 🎉

Awesome. Looks great 👍

So interesting how the different dye molecules were pulled out separately... Ooh, it would be so interesting to mix several dyes into one color and then put it with a fiber that makes the colors split and see if it comes out muddy-ugly, muddy-pretty, or not muddy at all. I might have to try it, I think it would be so good on silk. Not sure I still have undyed silk roving though... It's just so good to dye and spin. 😂

Hi Tamsin! I like that you take the wool from step one to swatch! Take good care! ❤

Super interesting....thanks for sharing!

Definitely a fascinating experiment. It’s so interesting how there can be so much variation from the one dye bath. My favourite is the silk too. 😊

i felt the strain of your desire to poke it. i too wanted to poke it. it wanted to be poked. your resistance was impressive, because i most definitely would have poked (and re-poked) it! serious question... what is the fiber content of that fauxgora? i've been playing around with dyeing (wool-free) polyamide/cotton blend yarns, and that polyamide stuff takes up acid dyes with the richness and sheen of the best silks. you can get some pretty interesting results, if there's enough polyamide in the blend. i was hoping the fauxgora would behave the same way. as for the rambouillet... i really love that breed for the loft and bounce it brings to yarns, but it does tend to mute the color of dyes, resulting in that chalky pastel appearance. maybe blend that with some silk to get a bit more light reflecting from the surface of the rambouillet, like it does with the yak/silk you dyed. that is stunning with the silk practically shining color out of that blend, and the spun sample gets the imagination going.

If I had to choose one, I'd have to go with the the silk it's just something else x

I love all these there great I want some of those dyes x

What an awesome experiment! I'm amazed at how little took up in the ramboullet. Love your videos! I was talking right along. Don't poke! Lol

Omg I am in love with that colourway it's gorgeous 😍

Yeah another one xx

Hi Tamsin, I hope you're OK and puss tats are too xxx ❣️❣️❣️🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ Thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast and your expertise. You're very much appreciated. ✨️🌟🌞 I love your experiments, they're always amazing. 🌞✨️🌟🎉 I was as surprised as you were as to how each of the colours on the different Fibres looked so very different, even though you dyed them all at the same time.🎉🎉 I love how each of the samples looked too.🎉🎉🎉 Happy Dyeing, Spinning, Knitting and Crotcheting Fibre Friend 🎉🎡🧶🧶🐑🥰 Take care, stay safe and well 🙂🙂 Lots of love and Big Hugs to you and puss tats ..Jen xxxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🫂🫂

Absolutely love the faux cashmere and the silks and that yak wow I'm just in love with them all x

Cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate you doing knit/ crochet swatches! So few creators do that but it is wonderful to see how things actually work up in a fabric!

Very interesting experiment. Love how the silk came out. You are so much fun ❤

Cute glasses!

Hi tay tay beautiful boy xx

I need florescent blue and red in my life so I can make that purple xx

You heard me I was saying do it the other direction and you did it yay x

Lol, you're just like me. Are we sure we weren't separated at birth lmfao xx

I like dye with an e lmao love it x

Yay yeet for dye. And I'm mad at youtube they didn't tell me you had uploaded. But I'm here now whoop xx

Awesome experiment! Thanks for sharing.. 🤗 Love all your content… so real life!

Very interesting experiment. I really love how the yak turned out.

Here for the weird and loving it!💜💜💜

💜💜💜

Great video, I’ve never dyed so thank you for all the info. I’m getting my 1st spinning wheel at the end of November, been using a drop spindle up to now. Thank you again.

Great experiment!

I loved this experiment! I totally agree with you about the dye striking to the superwash/merino first, leaving less for the other braids. In addition, I think the red probably struck a bit sooner than the blue on that fibre, cos the yak-silk and silk look slightly bluer. I suspect the fauxgora and rambouillet are much slower to dye than the others are, and all they got were the leftovers. Also maybe that red dye has yellow in it? Fantastic experiment ... and that silk is so fab 👌

What a great video. 🥰 love it 😻

Love the colours on the silk and yak/silk. 💜💜💜 I wouldn't have had your willpower though - I would've poked that dyepot! 🤣 ❤ Tamantha

The Restrain !!! I felt the pain 😝!! Really fab experiment . The dark wool and the silk delicious . The fauxgora very interesting ,, Did you say nylon mix? The rambolet was next to it right? Slower uptake seems a likely answer but also wonder if the nylon got too hot maybe and released other elements into the mix? I love how one experiment can lead to others .. and more unsettled sleeps 😂. Fab !
