I too was thinking "No, don't dip with navy...speckle with it, or spot place the color!" But the colorway did turn out very beautiful. Thank you for taking us through your creative process. 🌞
I think what helped me was knowing I could create something similar to the blue/green/teal after step 2 again in the future. That helped me keep going.
Thank you so much Rebecca!!! I honestly can't overstate how gorgeous this is in person and you could not have picked a better colorway for me if I had been standing next to you while you made it
There are so many beautiful colors. Just go with whatever speaks to you. I am a crocheter. I don't know of any knit patterns. Thank you for sponsoring this gorgeous color way. 🥰🧶🐑🐐🦙🐪🧶🥰
I’d go with a simple, repeating pattern like the Fresh Leaves Shawl by Christina Hadderingh (Ravelry). It’s written for a finer yarn but you can easily adapt it for this gorgeous, just-for-you DK yarn. For additional yarn, I’d pick up either the bright green or a slightly muted red/burgundy-ish hue. I’m so happy for you. These are my colors, too. I plan do sponsor a Dye Pot Weekly but have to talk to Rebecca about yarn choices since I’m allergic to wool.
I was just thinking I am amazed at your ability to make color and design changes while still being articulate and instructional, and at that moment at around 20. you said how hard it is to make the decisions. We are tuned in. I love the result so far and green and navy is a fave of mine so thanx.
I love this technique! I have use resist technique with bare yarn and a color, but using more than one color is gorgeous.Can’t wait to try it! Loved this video
LOVE, LOVE LOVE the pops of color, the navy, and the glazed sections. Beautiful! I too was screaming stop, no don't let it sit. WOW, so glad you waited. It is beautiful.
I dyed my first two skeins today! Thank you so much for putting these videos together. Your approach to this process really helped me get started and now I can't wait to play with more and more color!!!
from Gerry- This is stunning. For Sarah, any color would look good but for myself I would add the navy/purple blue I see every now and then and perhaps some real navy. Let the lighter colors pop on their own without adding more. Enjoy! Blessings to you both.
The dimension of colour under the navy is beautiful! I’m thinking of it terms of night sky or sea, in rug hooking and the brighter teal and lighter greens in plants.
I found the answer - synthrapol is described as a fabric detergent helping to wash out excess dye. I thought this was the function of the vinegar or citric acid crystals added to the dye bath. Dharma Trading lists it as a detergent, Jacquard products describes it as a prewash and after wash... and as a wetting agent for fabric dyes.
I know the yarn was amazing before the navy, but the final colorway is just SO complex! Sometimes navy can overpower the other colors, but in this case it really transformed them into something even more special than it was before. I really like your "dyeing 3x" videos with different resist techniques, the effects give such unique and amazing results.
I really really waffled. If I had dyed 4 skeins originally maybe I would have dipped 2 in Navy and left two out. I almost would love to dip the whole thing in Navy.... :D But I do love the final colorway.
Pretty darn gorgeous! Love it. So many colors all together. I could see warmer tones, like maybe gold, orange, and olive. Or gold and teal. There are so many possibilities. Thank you again for another great episode!
I enjoy resist dyeing and layering colors. I got some neat effects by dyeing yarn yellow, putting some resists in and layering black with blue, purple, and green over it for a colorway I'm calling Starling.
Thank you for the amazing video! Working from home (fully digital for the first time ever) and needed some cheer during lunch. Hope you and your family are well!
So I had an idea... not sure if you've also had this idea lol. I have seen your video using a stencil and a sock blank though I cant recall the method of dyeing. I thought it might be cool to do that stencil idea again but dusting on powdered dye using a small mesh sifter/strainer. Like you would for a dust stencil on a cake 🤩 love your work dear! Enjoy your extra time with the kiddos during this crazy time!!
I'm one of those that shouted "No Navy!" I loved the peacock colorway you had before you added the navy, but the final result was pretty too. Looks like Aurora Borealis in the end.
Thank you for your video. Amazing. I have been looking for videos on resist dyeing and yours actually goes through the process step by step. I have four dye samples to try and now I have a bit more confidence. Still do not understand how the ties keep the fiber from taking up more dye, but as long as it works, I’m okay with not understanding. I have some key lime green, bright hot pink, mountain aqua, and raven to try.
Would this be how you might suggest to make an "oil slick" type of colorway, in which you want bright, pure colors contrasting with dark colors? My other thoughts would be to a. do a dark gray with these resists and then alginated dyes to make the rainbow bits or b. alginated dyes for all colors, then a gray overdye to unite the colors. Looking forward to your thoughts :)
I do. at one point I started collecting photos to use in a video and it got pushed back for whatever reason. :( Sometimes people tag me on Instagram, but a lot of accounts are private so I don't re-share.
I have dyed some alpaca! Here are a couple of videos: ruclips.net/video/DcDyV-6vrw0/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/W5ZypNANF0A/видео.html . There is another alpaca video that will be released in the next week. As for getting in contact with me, Instagram and Facebook DM's work pretty well. If you have a question about my shop then you can reach out to me through Etsy.
It is quite similar to that dye along. :D When I did my Auora Borealis colorway I used a bit more purple and a brighter green, but I thought about that a lot when I saw the final colors here, too. :D

Uniqueness to the yarn, is the best descriptive for hand dyed fibers. This is definitely now one of my top 3. Thank you Rebecca. 🥰🧶🐪🦙🐐🐑🧶🥰
Wow, thank you!
Once again you nailed it with another great color way !!😍
Thank you! 😊
Love this. Reminds me of van Gogh's Starry Night.
wow, thank you!
I LOVE this technique. I've wanted to do a bright yellow, fucsia and black resist for a while now.
Oooo that sounds so pretty. And the resist should help the yellow from turning orange.
Gorgeous! Would love to see it knit up!

I've gotten very used to narrating what I'm doing as I go. Sometimes I make miss speak (a lot of times, lol) but practice has made it a lot easier. :D
It’s like a beautiful lagoon!
Thank you!
I love this technique! I have use resist technique with bare yarn and a color, but using more than one color is gorgeous.Can’t wait to try it! Loved this video
Thank you so much!
Teal, peach and red would be stunning as well. Great video.
I think so too! This is a great suggestion!
Gorgeous! Love the color combination!
Thank you so much!
LOVE, LOVE LOVE the pops of color, the navy, and the glazed sections. Beautiful! I too was screaming stop, no don't let it sit. WOW, so glad you waited. It is beautiful.
I could hear the screams. :)

I just love the colourway you did on your yarn, it must knit up beautifully
Thank you! 😊
The dimension of colour under the navy is beautiful! I’m thinking of it terms of night sky or sea, in rug hooking and the brighter teal and lighter greens in plants.
I keep looking at the close up photos over and over again.

Love the layered look. It adds so much depth to the color. Thanks!
I'm so glad you like it! This was a really fun one to create and is a new favorite of mine for sure.

I was afraid the navy would overpower it, so that was a big hesitation for me. I love love love the result!
Doing peacock colors with this technique, would-be gorgeous!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
YES!
Super pretty! Reminds me of Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night.’
Thank you, Wendy!
I must admit, I was yelling ‘Don’t add the navy!’ but that is a beautiful result!
I was saying the same thing! but now i like it
I really really waffled. If I had dyed 4 skeins originally maybe I would have dipped 2 in Navy and left two out. I almost would love to dip the whole thing in Navy.... :D But I do love the final colorway.
I love this!! I will definitely be doing this soon!
You should! Yay!
I was really nervous when you added it to the navy. But the end result was stunning. Phew!
Thank you so much!
Pretty darn gorgeous! Love it. So many colors all together. I could see warmer tones, like maybe gold, orange, and olive. Or gold and teal. There are so many possibilities. Thank you again for another great episode!
This one was soo so fun. I really love layering colors and seeing what happens. There are so many possibilities here!
This feels like the northern lights. I love the depth from the different layers of colors.
Thank you so much!
Isn't this the best 😀
I enjoy resist dyeing and layering colors. I got some neat effects by dyeing yarn yellow, putting some resists in and layering black with blue, purple, and green over it for a colorway I'm calling Starling.
That sounds soooo pretty!
Yaaayy, green!
:D
such fun, without the navy was glorious but glad to see the added navy, it is so pretty. thanks
It added an awesome layer of dimension to the yarn. :D
I love the darker look! Definitely was not worried about you going too far. The darker sections look like watercolor.
Lol, thank you. I always worry about going to far. ;) It is nice that you guys have faith in me! ;0)
DO very informative and beautiful. Thanks Rebecca. Love your videos.
Thank you so much!
I think this might be one of my favorites!! I was feeling some anxiety as you put it in the Navy, but I'm SO happy you went through with it!
I had anxiety with the navy, too!
"goodbye, my love!" was too funny 😂😂😂
Sometimes I get very attached to an in-progress colorway
Thank you for the amazing video! Working from home (fully digital for the first time ever) and needed some cheer during lunch. Hope you and your family are well!
I'm so so so glad that I could provide some cheer.
Im floored at the gorgeousness.
Thank you!
love this result, very pleasing,
Thank you! 😊

Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much!!
LOVE that yarn
Thank you so much!
I'm one of those that shouted "No Navy!" I loved the peacock colorway you had before you added the navy, but the final result was pretty too. Looks like Aurora Borealis in the end.
I was so hesitant to go for the least step. I think knowing I can recreate the peacocky colorway again helped me move forward. :D
Thank you for your video. Amazing. I have been looking for videos on resist dyeing and yours actually goes through the process step by step. I have four dye samples to try and now I have a bit more confidence. Still do not understand how the ties keep the fiber from taking up more dye, but as long as it works, I’m okay with not understanding. I have some key lime green, bright hot pink, mountain aqua, and raven to try.
If the ties are tight enough then they prevent liquid from soaking into those sections. Good luck!
I love those pops!!!
Thank you! I'm obsessed with this colorway.
Soooo pretty! I was watching you while on the treadmill, and although I planned to stay on for only 15 min, you kept me on for the whole video! :)
This is awesome! I'm so glad that I could help. ;)
Love the green
Thank you!
love the colors. I would like to see it with fall colors or deep jewel colors.
I love both of those combos!
This is absolutely gorgeous!!!! :)
Thank you so much!!
It’s beautiful!
Thank you!!
Very pretty colors
Thank you! 😊
Yes to pop of colours! (Always)
Awesome. Thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Beyond Excellent 😀
Thank you so much 😀
It is very pretty!

I think that this could work great for an oil slick type look - Especially with varying the dark shades that you layer on top.
Love this technique. Would love to see you do it with food coloring.
This is a great idea - I'll make a note of it.
I still say you need to have a place where people can post what they made from your beauties!!!!!!!
Agreed on that :)
I do. at one point I started collecting photos to use in a video and it got pushed back for whatever reason. :( Sometimes people tag me on Instagram, but a lot of accounts are private so I don't re-share.
have you ever dyed Alpaca Fiber and how do we get in touch with you. by the way I was thinking no Navy but add another soft pastel
I have dyed some alpaca! Here are a couple of videos: ruclips.net/video/DcDyV-6vrw0/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/W5ZypNANF0A/видео.html . There is another alpaca video that will be released in the next week.

Aurora Borealis
It is quite similar to that dye along. :D When I did my Auora Borealis colorway I used a bit more purple and a brighter green, but I thought about that a lot when I saw the final colors here, too. :D
Could you use silicone bands?
Maybe, although they might be a pain to take off
What is the water temp do you cook that so the fibers don't fray?
I try to stay just below a simmer - but sometimes I get a little higher than that. I haven't had yarn fray though.
Northern lights!
oo yes!
Keep going 😀
Which segment has raspberry and purple? 💜
I don't think I used those colors in this video - but I have an auoroa borealis colorway like this that used some purple.
💖💖💖
Thank you so much!
Nooooo‼ Leave out the navy😱
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
If I had done 4 skeins I would have left half out of the pot. I can replicate this in the future I think.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials I didn't think I would like the final outcome, but I really did‼ Generly I hate navy, but this worked😍
I was afraid the Navy would ruin it but it is beautiful
Thank you!
if you could have kept it about 50% light and 50% dark I would love it more.
never mind... after it was dried I love it more!! LOL
I always love seeing what people think of the colorway and the different choices people would make. :D
