I love love love this colorway. Last May I took pictures of a display of Iris's in Wegmans and this colorway reminds me so much of those flowers. I took the pictures with the intention of sending them to someone to make me a colorway. BUT, at this time just haven't gotten the money together to do something like that. Rebeca, don't be surprised if I send you those pictures in a few months to ask for some light blue with dark blue speckles and a little white. It would be so much fun to see what you do with it.
The blurple reminds me if a cyan I bought from a local manufacturer. The first time I used it, I added quite a bit of dye because it didn't look anywhere near as intense as the other primaries. That was until I added heat and it bloomed. Oh my, how it bloomed, it virtually swallowed the other colours. The result was quite gorgeous, but now I tend to use less of the cyan compared to the other colours, always remembering that things don't necessarily look the same once hot.
These are gorgeous! The deep blue and intense iris blend into each other really beautifully. I love the lighter blue in there too but wondering if there is a color closer to the deep blue to have the more subtle transition. Or even doing this with one more color between the deep blue and the Caribbean blue.
I love your videos.ive always been curious about dyeing yarn and embroidery floss and seeing your videos are inspiring me to give it a try. Now im just looking through your channel for beginners and enjoying your energy so much❤❤
Thank you so much, and welcome to the channel! I'm actually going to be dyeing some embroidery floss soon (well, 100% silk that is skeined for embroidery... but still- mega mini skeins!)
@ChemKnits Tutorials that's awesome!! I've been binge watching all day and I'm already planning for my first try next month (I'm moving so can't do it at the moment hahaha) but the process looks sooo fun and I'm just loving everything you do ans talk about. Easily best videos ans tutorials out there so thank you for sharing and all your hard work ❤️
@@RisingPhoenixCreations Thank you so much! I try to reply to questions etc as much as I can (although sometimes I get super behind and can't catch up.) I don't always see replies to comments I've already replied to unless I catch my feed at the right time - so if you have a question just start a new comment thread and I should see it.
Yarn lasagna!!!! Those turned out so pretty! I love the way the blues and the purple work together. It's going to work up into something gorgeous. Also, happy belated birthday to Kimberly!
Really fun technique... But I ended up loving the yarn mop! 😂 Random will always be my vibe and these colours blended very well together, like an impressionist painting of lavender and wisteria 💙💜💙
Beautiful! I would love to see you add a lot of dye to the bottom skein then put a couple layers on top but just squishing the dye from the bottom up so it would get lighter as it went up. Would that work?
I'd be nervous to commit six or eight skeins of yarn to the experiment, but I'd be really curious to see what would happen if I used one color per layer to create a sort of funky ombre effect. How would layering red, orange, then yellow look compared to yellow, orange, then red for example? Or would that just be a big muddy mess?
This is an interesting question. I'd be a little nervous also do dedicate 6-8 skeins to this type of experiment. It comes down a lot to the specific pigments and ones that spread out more versus start to bind even without me adding acid. I was working on an example like this today - one color spread out so much and the other stayed put with a cold application. I do have a video that has a similar theme - adding one color to one skein a different color to a second and then dyeing both in the same pot. I think that will come out sometime in May.
What a stunning end result! That purple is so fantastic, and really interesting how it acted like Hyacinth where it was very muted and subtle at first before the heat made it pop! That makes me wonder what doing an ombre of Hyacinth and Intense Iris would be like, I'm curious how the colors compare when they're cold (besides the fact that Intense Iris is so much deeper in color).
Will the new pans fit inside luggage? It's the last place anyone looks, and since I do all the packing & cleaning. When luggage is in use, hide under the bed. Get home, you guessed it. I do the unpacking of dirty laundry, and the repacking of supplies into the luggage🤭😉🤫
This would be hard to do with KoolAid because one of the reasons why this worked well is that there is no acid in it yet. With each packet of KoolAid there is more and more acid, so the dyes would strike fast.

I think you could get a really fun, autumnal colorway with a golden yellow, rusty orange, and a deep brown!
I would love to see this!
Oh yes!!
I think picking one colour out of that scheme, that strikes quickly would be really fun, to see if you could some light speckles.

Ooh that Intense Iris! It is the color of the purple iris in my garden!!!! What beautiful yarn.
I want my irises to bloom!!!
Soon!! But If they don't bloom dig them up and replant them. Some times they need to be "disturbed" a little

Adding another color in there may have helped - or honestly I could have layered those two colors a bit more to make an intermediate.

@@ChemKnitsTutorials that's epic thank you!!
I love my local restaurant supply place (small businesses, too!)-- I've found some great pans and racks.
That is awesome!
Beautiful, and such a useful technique. I don't think I've ever dyed with Caribbean Blue without some bleeding. It's such a problem child :)
It sure is!
Yarn lasagna!!!!

Also, happy belated birthday to Kimberly!
Finally, right? I knew i had to have that in the title

Thank you! 😊
"Where would I keep it?" is the crafters' refrain! So far, I have found places to squirrel new stuff away!
I'm overflowing. We need another house almost to help me out here. ;)
Beautiful! I would love to see you add a lot of dye to the bottom skein then put a couple layers on top but just squishing the dye from the bottom up so it would get lighter as it went up. Would that work?
It might! It depends on the pigments potintially. Some colors I've observed strike without me adding acid and others spread out more.

Or use mini skeins in a small pan?
Kugel dyeing, almost in time for Passover 😊
Who knocked the collage off kilter & didn't straighten it? 😊
:D

That makes me wonder what doing an ombre of Hyacinth and Intense Iris would be like, I'm curious how the colors compare when they're cold (besides the fact that Intense Iris is so much deeper in color).
I think that if I were to use intense iris at a lower DOS it would be more muted than hyacinth
Does intense iris break? These colors are beautiful 😍
I'm not sure. I don't think it is a pure pigment, so it might but I don't think I've noticed it specifically.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials it’s on my list to order, so many colors to choose from.
Will the new pans fit inside luggage?
It's the last place anyone looks, and since I do all the packing & cleaning. When luggage is in use, hide under the bed. Get home, you guessed it. I do the unpacking of dirty laundry, and the repacking of supplies into the luggage🤭😉🤫
Lol. Our luggage has other luggage inside of it in the furnace room. I also have under bed storage boxes already filled with more yarn, ;)
Those turned out pretty.
I would love to see this technique done with koolaid.
This would be hard to do with KoolAid because one of the reasons why this worked well is that there is no acid in it yet. With each packet of KoolAid there is more and more acid, so the dyes would strike fast.
Lasagnyarn?
OMG I love this
Yay!
I know you've been waiting for this one! :chemknitshug:
