I love poinsettia, and I've mixed it with cabernet... and those are the only 2 reds I have so far. I just ordered more! And a ton more bare yarn! This channel is a bad influence on my bank account but a great influence on my mental health.
That was very very interesting and helpful! And YES TO A GREEN VERSION! (and orange ;) of this experiment! I would love to see both, but right now, green is what I fancy the most :D
I have done a 1% DOS sample on 10g minis - I have a jeweler's scale which can handle low weights. It was annoying to measure, but I got a lots of dye swatches to look at later.
Your videos always make me giggle! that one tsp of vinegar turning into two, I was dying! and the zippies. You are a treasure, Rebecca! Thank you so much for doing reds! I think it's hard to see the differences in reds without them side by side.Easy to tell if you have one that's not quite right, though. I'm ready for greens next. Winter greens, for the win!
Something I do with my tie-dye in the winter that I think might be useful for this technique, put the dye protect while batching on *seedling heat mats* (because I am doing tie-dye I wrap my projects in a plastic bag and put them into a plastic tote that I put on top of the heat mat, I am thinking of modifying the tote so I can put the heat mat/s inside and wrapping it all in a a blanket to insulate, but you likely don't need to go that far).
The vermillion is not close to the color vermillion. Vermillion was derived from powered cinnabar, so it should be a warm red leaning to the orangish red. I like the swatch, but I never would have guessed that it was vermillion. I would like to see swatches at higher depth of shades.
Okay, I think I may be losing my mind. Dharma Fire Engine is the same dye as Cherry Red by Uacquard, and Pro Chem WF red, are the same. However, the milling makes a huge difference!
Milling and other fillers makes a huge difference. I think maybe my "strange batch" of the fire engine red could be a culprit. Also - the total amount of pigment that is used - so if one is more saturated etc.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials it was so funny! You're entertaining and scientific. You're the yarn Neil deGrasse Tyson, only yarn! Explainers are so important. Now you know I have a crush on NdGT. Lol
Constructive criticism- why not save a bunch of jars from your recycling and put 6 or 8 at a time in your big pan as a big Bain Marie on your stove top? Then you can test your colors at the same conditions you actually use them (hot). When I do this, I also can swirl the jar and I get good even coverage of dye on the yarn. Here, you don’t know how solubility issues might change the final outcome in cold vs hot conditions. Likewise, what about final behavior of the dyes that you say need heat to develop. Is final color different in your cold bath method? 12 colors is not many samples to do in bain Marie method, although when you do big color mixing tests, I can see the advantage of cold method. But honestly, Bain Marie is so much faster, easier and just “all done” in one step in about an hour.

If only the postage to Australia was not more than the wool.
Thank you Rebecca and thank you Rebecca's patrons!

I'm a stash enabler for sure! I'm glad you like the videos.
Greens and blues for sure!
I have a blues video, but not with the DOS. ruclips.net/video/tLH-N7YxjUM/видео.html

This needs to happen for sure!
i really enjoyed this video and i would love to see more in different colors! especially BROWN!! perhaps the start of a 1% DOS rainbow series?
Poinsettia and ox blood are still my fav!
Cherry Bomb and Poinsettia are my favourite! Thanks for doing this
Mine, too!

Reds really needed the DOS more than other colors I think. Greens need to happen badly!
Love this video and being able to compare the crude swatch to the 1% dos!
Thank you so much!

Oh I've never thought about this! I'm surprised how well things strike even when things are pretty cold (or at least **Mostly** strike.

Oh interesting!
I thought the same thing with the color! Definitely NOT what vermillion should look like. A good color, but not 'vermillion'!
Great video! Please compare the new dye to the old. I would love it if you did grey and brown too.
I'd enjoy that, too! I have looked at my (limited) browns a few times, but want to do it more officially.

"One zip to tie them all, one zip to bind them." Lol
Sometimes when I'm watching things back I laugh at the things that come out of my mouth!

Would love comparison of two Fire Engine Red, please.
I think I have the new one now!
I've mixed two of those for a good red, but I'm starting to think poinsettia, russet and a drop of Cabernet would be a stunning red.
Ooooo!!
