Thanks for sharing Lori! Up until now, I have dyed OOAK and basically how I'm feeling that day. So glad you are getting into details on how to make colour recipes so they can be repeated.
oooh can't wait for the next one Lori! My biggest question is how much dye/solution to use per (weight) of yarn, fibre, etc. I bought some Landscape dyes and I think the reason they take more is they include citric acid. The benefit to a beginner like me is they have a handy instruction sheet that shows how much of their dye powder to use for specific weights. I've used them to dye yarn, silk, and whole wool garments with great success but they're not very economical so have now bought jacquard acid dyes.
@@ER-oo6vs ok great to know. I will be sure to include it on the video, or I will keep it a seperate topic. Might be a good idea actually. Break it all down even more into bite size bits. Yes, good point. The landscape dyes have the citric acid. They would be nice to learn with. Maybe easier, less chance of using too much dye too! Which I had trouble with when I started…
I have kept my dye solution in containers for way too long haha. I have some that are a year old. They don't exhaust as much as the new solutions do. 25% less exhaustion I would say, after one year, or, the dye dye powder themselves, I have some that area really old, its the similar.. approx 25% less exhaustion. In particular fluorescent fuchsia.
Such a well done walk through. Couldn’t find a better one, I know bc I’ve been searching for a long time now. Thank you!
@@erintroxler9851 Thanks Ari! Hopefully I can cover every detail :) and inspire

Thanks for the great instructions. How long can you keep a dye solution before it "goes bad?"
