  • Hi and welcome back. This is the continuation of Part 3 in a series of videos specifically about the techniques and methods I use when creating hand dyed yarn. However before the dyeing process begins there are a few things to know which I call the BASICS.
    These Basics include what you need to know before you get started dyeing yarn and will be the foundation to build on as you learn how to create your own unique works of art with fibre.
    Protein Fibre, Dye, Acid, Heat and the Tools I use were covered in the previous videos, now in Part 3 - Section 2 we will talk about WASHING & DRYING the yarn, SKEINING yarn and CLEANING tools and equipment.

    Thank you for this series of incredibly thorough, yet approachable, videos. I was so overwhelmed while researching yarn dyeing and I honestly was ready to give up until I found your channel. You are a great teacher, and very down to earth which is hard to come by sometimes on RUclips. I especially appreciate this video that shows a lot of your work space areas - my setup will be in my basement so it’s highly relevant! I plan to make my first attempt at dyeing this Saturday, will probably have you right there “with me” while I rewatch the vids on my laptop!

    I made a video of myself dyeing on my channel... it is by no means a tutorial lol it’s more that I wanted to document what I did. I have the basics down but where I really fall short is putting colors together.
    I am always afraid to dye complimentary colors on the same skein in fear of getting mud.
    I love the look of a skein layered with all the colors
    I know I’m supposed to wait for one color to strike or exhaust if I don’t want the dyes to mix.
    I have no interest in dyeing for a business
    I just think it’s really fun but I do seem to lack that artistic element that helps me put beautiful colors together
    I’m excited to see the technique vids next also

    • @EssenceofAutumnYarn
      @EssenceofAutumnYarn  3 года назад +2

      You did a fantastic job with your colour! I love how it turned out. I can tell that you're willing to experiment and and try things to see what works. Don't fear the "mud". Even when you thought an idea you had could go wrong you still went ahead and tried it out. Keep doing this and you will be surprised with what you will learn and come up with. This is also how you will develop your colour sense and artistic style of dyeing. You're doing great, keep up the good work.

    Very clear instructions. I was struggling with yarn dyeing. Good idea to dye the yarns without Acid to get the desired shade and then to add acid & heat.
    Can you suggest, what process to do additionally so that the colors do not run while washing. Thank you and greetings from India ..

    @ewe2me2ud46 2 года назад

    All of your videos are great. When you hang up your skeins to dry, do you put something on them to weigh them down? I find my yarn “curls” if I don’t keep it hanging tight. Hope this makes sense.😊

    • @EssenceofAutumnYarn
      @EssenceofAutumnYarn  2 года назад +1

      No I don't. I find that most of the kinks are taken care of when I skein them up.

    • @teenwphoto
      @teenwphoto Год назад

      This could be because the yarn has too must twist. You can try wet finishing and thwacking it but weighting it will only mask the problem and it can effect your end product if you create something with overspun yarn.

      Usually 6 skeins per colour. That amounts fits comfortably in the pan and I like to do about 10 colours per base. That gives me 60 skeins and that is what I can get on to one shelf where I store the finished yarn.
