Very pretty. I cleaned used up (almost) all by dye stocks last week. Found one jar where most of the water had evaporated, leaving a glob of gunk behind.
I know it's almost expected, considering that you tend to have more dye-stocks of your more commonly used colors, but what a classic Rebecca blurple colorway! I really like the LNDB because sometimes it's an unexpected combination, and sometimes it's a comforting blend of familiar.
At one point I had so much emerald and royal purple - colors that look awesome together... but I didn't want to repeat the same colors over and over. The only color I have left from this batch was carribbean blue. I have soem newer stocks now, but those are mostly primaries which are super easy to use up for projects! I find myself doign more - measuring 1 g dye and dissolving it multiple times vs making stocks out of laziness these days. And not wanting leftovers!
Could you dye yarn with the pink that had crashed out of solution? Or is it unusable at that point? Asking for a "friend" who has a bunch of dye stock to use up. (It's me. The "friend" is me.)
You can, but I'm not sure if it would crock and rub off on your hands. I have a video where there was a lot of pink at the bottom of a bottle and I used a lot of it on yarn and it gave a nice pink, but if there was some left in this video, I didn't know how much pigment it really was and so didn't use it all.
If you were a big indie dyer doing lots of the same colour ways swatches would make sense - but you’re not. Your colour way reminds me of your logo. There’s a vine on my walk that has that intense blurple with purple pink mid- ridges. It fades to a beautiful pink when older. It’s called the purple potato vine and google photos don’t do it justice.

Lovely yarn.
For the Caribbean blue, I think that color works very well with emerald green.
Oooo yes it does! Emerald green was a color I had a TON of leftovers of recently as well. :D

I have some "slop buckets" of leftover dyes that I rinsed off while making various stocks I need to use. I'm super excited for those mystery colors.

There will still be one more video with these dyestocks Sometimes I publish things out of order
Lovely! Interesting how you ended up with a fade across the 3 skeins.
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
It’s funny I didn’t expect any pastel spots based on how it looked wet. Stunning colour way as usual
Thank you! 😊 SOmetimes it is super hard to tell how different it may look when dry.
💜💜💜💜💜💜 Purple!!!

Sometimes I think about all the things I could do if there were two of me! :D Maybe someday I can add someone to the team.
