Thanks Rebecca. Must say, that yarn mop is gorgeous!

[@louisalowry6229]

Love, love, love the yarn mop!! Interesting experiment with the different ways to change the dip dyeing patterns.

[@newmoonjlp]

Interesting comparison! I usually dip dye my background color first, then speckle, then steam. Always great to see different approaches.

[@pattigolden1]

Honestly, I like the simple speckling & mop the best!! 🤣😂

[@airenesmiler6624]

No matter the technique used they are all gorgeous.

[@aeprice2904]

Great video, thanks And I also love the yarn mop most of all!

[@dawnjanz]

I'd like to see this with citric acid in with the dye for speckling, I think you got spread partially because of no acid

[@yasmine32069]

I would try dip dying, then spackling may be the way to go

[@candyquilt]

Just wondering why you do not add the acid to the water before you soak the yarn (seems to me it would distribute better into the yarn that way)?

How dangerous are these powder dyes to be able to do this in your kitchen?

[@melissatapp]

I’m bumping this. I want to use commercial dyes but I’m nervous using it in my kitchen
