- Whilst trying to embrace the end of Summer, I got inspired by some fall colors. There is both spinning fiber and yarn dyed here, but one of the yarns was gone before I could even really take any pictures. :S. It's a great problem to have, but shoot!!!
If you want to get some yarn or fiber to dye, Might I suggest Paradise Fibers: bit.ly/2XjuXkU

I love the fall. I live in Texas outside of Austin on the face of the sun. Fall makes me excited. Like when I was a kid and the fair was coming. We had a great fair when I was a kid. The cool weather makes me want to run in circles in the yard like my dogs do when it is cold.
Texas is one of the places I've been wheedling John to move to 😂
These colors remind me of the changing leaves in autumn.
What I love about autumn is the changing colors and the cooler days. I love winter though with the snow, resetting, and peace that the season brings.
Try to think of it as autumn rather than fall. Fall makes you think of harm and therefore no good. Autumn is lovely with color!
Good luck with your new endeavors. I love all the season and your fall colors make me happy.
This is such a helpful and relaxing video to watch! Thank you for uploading it, it's making this less daunting.
I am not only impressed by her techniques here but also because she is WEARING A WHITE SHIRT AND IT STAYS WHITE 🤯
I’m so impressed by you! LOVE from MN! ❤️
Love the colors, fall's my favorite time of year. I live in southern TN so this time of year It's not hot, it's not cold and I can open all the windows.
The fact that your wearing a white shirt... makes you my hero.
When I start dying yarn (I just started spinning my 3rd time with the drop spindal)
I will be wearing a white apron... so the colors show up
I agree...I'm a summer girl! Fall is ok & I do love being able to wear sweaters & boots! Your bundles look awesome! I can't believe you were wearing white when you were dying...brave girl!!!
When I was editing, I saw that white tee shirt and thought the same thing. Am I crazy?? But I didn't get any of it on me, so I guess it all turned out fine.
Oh trish! These colors are gorgeous!!😍😍😍🍁🍂
Hi Trish, I just love all seasons. What I get excited about fall is the colors of the leaves. To help me, I start dyeing oranges and reds. I just love the sunset colors this time of year.
beautiful colors! What I love most about fall (in your part of the world) are the changing colors, the cool crisp days, and the chance to start wearing hand knits! That's the kind of fall I grew up with. Where I live now, it's not as nice - just grey and rainy.
Last year fall was so grey and rainy, it was awful here, but this year it has been pretty nice so far. If i can just get a little sunshine, it feels better.
Excited for cool weather so I can wear knitting!! 🧣
I love all seasons, Spring for the new fleeces, ready to clean and prepare during the Summer. Autumn for the spinning going into winter, knitting and weaving etc. I’d love to try dying at some stage and love the pans you’re using. 😀
So cool!! I always learn something. Plus it is so fun to spend time here.!!!
The roving turned out lovely.
What gorgeous colors! 😍😍😍
How did I not find your channel sooner? You keep it so real! "This is what I do. I putter around. I play with yarn" So ME! Thanks for showing your creative process. Lovely results :)
Love the colors 😍
Very inspiring ❤️ I definitely want to do some Halloween themed gradient roving. After seeing this I realize I've been using too much water at the bottom of my pan. Makes sense now seeing you do it. Thank you for the inspiration and tutorial.
Love those braids! I’m not good at trying out new colors, I almost always dye cool colors but these inspire me to try something new.
Those are glorious!
Those turned out so pretty!
Oooooh....pretties! I'm a spring, autumn, and winter person. Summer is too hot and sticky for me to play with fiber. Those rovings are just delicious, as is the yarn. I've been going "batty" lately, but now you have me itching to pull out my dyes😸
Wooo! Congratulations on selling some of your pieces!! I think these all came out so lovely 💕
Also I love summer and am not a fall/winter person either. But I loves fiber and sweaters. Madness lol
I hope you have an amazing weekend Trish!
Those colors look like an Arizona sunset. 😍 Pretty sure that dye would end up all over my white clothes if I was the one doing that.
While I was editing, I was like, "What the heck?? People are going to point out that I'm crazy." but I am surprised how few did. It was crazy, but I didn't get a drop on me.
I love how they turned out! I can't imagine you not thinking your stuff is good enough to sell, but I struggle with the same thoughts. You are coaching me along with your own journey. Thanks for putting yourself out there!
Apparently I need other eyes to tell me this stuff, because I am hypercritical. My inner voice is extremely critical which is good for making me particular, and bad for making me beat myself up. Just stuff I need to work on! I know I"m not the only one. 💜
@@FiberLoveDiary
I struggle with this too and it is very helpful to hear I am not alone.
I have a second creative wind after an almost decade of little creating and fiber art is what rekindled my interest.
I think it is 100% good enough to sell. I don't spin yarn, but I love hand dyed yarn it so much better than the other stuff. It's way more expensive, but worth it for a special project.
I am super excited for autumn, my favourite time of the year. I like that it gets dark outside in the evenings again and the lower temperatures, it makes it so cosy to snuggle up inside with coffee and a handmade blanket, knitting and watching TV or listening to audio books. Plus the colours outside are so beautiful and it's not too cold yet. Only bad thing is that all my new house plants could use some more sunlight 😉🌱💚
What I love about Autumn is low humidity! No more sweating. (Gerry)
So pretty! Fall is my favorite season. Mostly because I am harvesting out of the garden, and canning like a crazy person. If you like gardening, it’s nice to look forward to fall to harvest all you have worked for. Good job on the dying!
I love gardening, and I start out super gung ho every spring, and then I fizzle out by the end of August, but my husband went and harvested for me yesterday in our garden. It's almost all done now, but we're still getting a few things.
Hi Trish, hope you're OK. Love this dying video.
Binge watching . Your video/podcasts. I'm watching some that I've watched before & some that I haven't watched /seen on my feed.
I love spending time with you, you're like having a friend round for coffee. Not that we've been able to do any of that this past year.
Take care, stay safe & well.
Lots of love Jen 💘 xx
I love your colors! I have been dyeing lately too! Fun!
Beautiful!
Those came out so pretty! 💕
Thank you! 😊
Wow. I love autumn but the colors are not in my wheel house. None-the-less I love what you did here.
Your dyeing vids are so inspiring. I have a nesco (cheap hamilton beach) and want to do this more often. Im hankering to dye fleece locks and rambo top.
I love cold weather so im all about this time of year
Oh the yarn turned out fantastic! (it all did, but that yarn!!!)
I'm knitting it into plain socks, so it will be in the next project update. I LOVE how it turned out!
The last tub before you lost footage...I would call that roving Candy Corn 😊
Wow, those are amazing, Love the colors, Hugssss
I love the fiber roving with the long color changes! I want to try spinning a fractal yarn and am on the hunt for the perfect braid for that project. I love fall in general (apples,spices, baking) but I'm in Portland, and with the fall comes the rain...however, after spe sing 20 years in New Orleans, I am glad to be somewhere that has a beautiful fall color change.
Thank you! The colors are my favorite part.
So lovely! Thanks for another great video.
Thank you! Cheers!
You are one brave woman Trish for wearing a white shirt while dying lol
I came out clean too. I rarely get dye in my clothes and rarely escape without dye on my hands 🤣
OK I’m a year later this the thumbnail picture is absolutely gorgeous and I love love love the smell of pumpkin anything specifically right now bath and Bodyworks caramel pumpkin candles I am so ready for fall but if we could skip over winter that would be great
Winter! Snuggle down under the heavy blankets that I spend the rest of the year making
That turned out very pretty 😍
Summer is my all time favorite season as well and I get sad when it isn't Summer too
☹However one of the things I look forward to in Fall and Winter are the Pumpkin Spic food and drinks and then in Spring is the fact that it is almost Summer again 🙃
Great video again! I love your dyeing ...this will sell out!! I am definitely with you on the ‘sad to see summer end’ scale! I was pleased to hear you say that as everyone seems to totally embrace autumn and I thought u was odd! 😂
We might still be odd. I don't really know! I don't mind having four seasons. Summer is just over so fast where I live, and I would love a few more weeks.
Autumn is full of all kinds of wonderful colors! It's cooling off, and time for early evening bon fires! Sweaters all warm and comfy! Cool days and cooler nights!
Summer us so hot, and there is only so many clothes I am willing to take off! Lol even in my own home- at least during the day-when a stranger may knock on the door! 😈
In the winter there is snuggling in front of the fire place and cuddling up with your honey!😃 Bundling up and playing in the snow, building snowmen, and making snow angles! Throwing snowballs, taking sleigh rides! All of that you can't do in summer! The cooler weather is WONDERFUL! Fresh apple cider, leaf piles, long walks to just enjoy the color changes of the leaves! It's all part of Autumn! It is a beautiful wonderful season!
These are but a small amount of the reasons that I love Autumn, and Winter!
Hope this helps you see the coming seasons in a better light!
11:32 this looks amazingly like spaghetti 🍝 :)
Hi Trish! I’m always torn between the fall colors and beautiful jewel tones of purple/blue/green. What’s fun for me is seeing how the beautifully dyed roving turns into yarn, it’s a surprise every time! I used to be a winter woman but as I’m getting older the cold bothers me, so I’m sorry to see summer go too! But 🤫 don’t tell my family I said that, they’d never believe it lol! Now I’m going to your Etsy shop, woo hoo!!
Hi! I hope you love your top. You bought one of my faves. I used to love winter too, but I think it's the lack of sunshine that bothers me. I am trying to take big doses of vitamin D this year and use one of those daylight lamps to help with that. Maybe I can figure out how to like winter again!
Fiber Love Diary Thank you! I can’t wait to get it! It was a difficult choice because they are all beautiful but I kept coming back to that one! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Let me know how you like the happy light, I have one and it’s very bright to say the least lol! Indoor sunshine 🌞
I am somewhat new to knitting and LOVE the look of hand dyed yarn. Do you have a beginner tutorial on how to make ombré yarn or a video on undyed yarns and what brands you like vs ones you would avoid?
I live in the Houston Texas area and fall is just a minute. Don't blink. So we need to make things in fall colors and pretend. Your color choices are incredible. Maybe I can convince the granddaughter to help me do something similar - thank you for the inspiration. PS if people send photos of their work with these, could you please share?
Awesome
Beautiful braids trish I don’t know how you’re letting them go.
There was ONE that I wanted to keep really badly, but it was the first one gone, so I guess I better try to approximate it again 😂
I tried the purple gold deal. Way too much yellow. Yours is much better. I love that you opened a shop. Bravo!
Glad you like it! I have fiber soaking to try a new version of it today!
That is the prettiest dye job I have seen, in so long! It is stunning really, just gorgeous like a New Mexican desert sunset, with the purple mountains with the deep oranges oh my goodness me! Do you have a name for that work of art?
Would love a video of you spinning it
Sorry. It was sold even before the video was available to watch. I'm a little sorry i didn't keep one myself!
Wow
Your color selections are fabulous! I think I will try something similar. Gerry Ivkovich
Thank you! I have pulled some braids to try the first one again with some changes, and a new one too.
Wonderful job!! Going to add u to my favorite Etsy shops. Love all the colors !🐑👍
Trisha, I am new at dyeing and spinning. Could you talk a little about the differences or pros/cons of dyeing first vs spinning first.
Love how both methods turned out. Cheers.
Yes, that's a great idea, and I think it would make a wonderful video. Thanks!
wearing a white shirt while you dye... so brave omg
It was clean at the end! I honestly didn't think of it at all until I started watching the footage during editing 😂
Will the wool roving fade if you felt them after this dyeing process with hot, very soapy water? Thx!
I realize this is a couple years old, but how to do you rinse out your roving/combed top after dyeing it?
What is your recipe for mixing your acid dyed in the squeeze bottles
After your done dyeing do you let it just air dry? If so how long does that usually take?
what kind of fiber does acid dye work with best
Did you carder the roving after dry?
What temperature do you heat it to after you put your dye on?
Is the dye in the squirt bottle room temperature?
I love your videos! You boil the wool with the dye?
i have white milk cotton yarn , can i dye it? like those? :(
Love!!! I live in Arizona so I am absolutely ecstatic that the cool weather is coming and we can say goodbye to the 100F+ days 🎉🎉
Where do you get your undyed top from?
I like RH Lindsay and World of Wool in the UK for undyed top. My mom lives in AZ, so I get it!
Hi Tirsh, where do you buy your bare roving from? I would love to get some to play around with! 💛
Hey! I have trade accounts at World of Wool and Ashland Bay, so most of it comes from there. I'm planning on offering it in my Etsy shop so if you want bfl, rambouillet, or Falkland email me and I can make you a deal.
I would love to see you dye a warp! Unless I missed it, which could have happened 🙃
That's a fun idea, but for now I direct warp, so that would really be tough. You never know, maybe down the road!
@@FiberLoveDiary you could dye a skein and then warp it! I would just love to see you dye some cotton :) since it is something I am looking into
The second braid just made me think "Persephone"
Interesting! I love hearing all the ideas. I guess in the future I should ask for names, because I do name them, but I do it really fast, because I know I'm not going to dye the same things again.
I am a summer girl too growing up fall and winter meant cold.if you sell your dying I you are professional
Love how it turned out! I’m new to dying and was wondering how you wash and dry your roving after your done dying?
I don't usually wash until after I've spun it. I do rinse it well.
@@FiberLoveDiary thanks! What about drying?
@@sydneytaylor6697 A lot of people use a spin dryer to spin out most of the water. I don't have space for one, so I roll the cooled, rinsed top in a raggedy old towel, and leave it there for a few hours. Then I hang them to dry the rest of the way.
I have a couple quick questions! im interested in hand dyeing yarn too and i was wondering if the yarn id hand dyed, will it change the properties in any way? like will it change the weight and the ply? and i saw in your video you had bottles of acid dye. Is it possible to store the dye that is already mixed in a plastic bottle or does it need to be used at that time? Thank you so much and i loved your video!
I have read that it could possibly make your yarn weigh a little more, but it would be dependent on what type of molecules are in your dye. Otherwise, it shouldn't change anything. People do store dye stock, and I do save extra usually. There are just a few colors in my collection that I've learned don't store well, so I try extra hard not to mix extra of those.
You’re adorable lol
I guess I’m confused. I just watched this a couple hours ago. 🧐 I actually bought some fleece you dyed from this video. 😀
I messed up and left the audiobook in, so I had to fix the video and re-upload 😂
And do you also sell your yarn you spin? 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
I guess, if you fall in love with something, just email me and I"ll see. I've never really considered selling handspun because it's so labor intensive. Thank you!
i love the color choices! i would recommend wearing PPE (R95 or other particulate mask, gloves to avoid staining hands like crazy, and goggles for possible splashes) especially when working with the dry ingredients for the dye bath, nothing ruins a day like getting acid dye in your eyes and having to flush them forever and then the ER trip after to be sure you got it all lol
Thanks for the recommendations
What dye are you using? Thanks for posting, very informative!
I use acid does from Jacquard, Dharma brand and ProChem.
@@FiberLoveDiary THANKS!
What is the dye you use?
My favorites, in order, are ProChemical, Jacquard, and Dharma. Some of the Dharma dyes have been inconsistent in breaking and setting, so I am not really buying more of those right now, but I do use some that I already had, or that are favorites that I just can't live without!
Those rovings are georgios.
Thank you!
Where did you get the white yarn before you dyed it?
The yarn was a KnitPicks bare hank. There's a link in my description box if want some!
@@FiberLoveDiary thanks! 😊
I liked it!!!! Kate Who #ROSSIGNOL
I have a suggestion for you. I was looking at your Esty. It would be helpful if you say what the fibers you are selling can be used for! I don't know about all the different types of fibers are, so if it says it is a blend or 100% wool, that is helpful. If it can be used for felting or not? Thank you!
Interesting. I had never even considered that someone might buy one for felting.
@@FiberLoveDiary there are different types of felting. I am using the Tutti Frutti from the Sept Paradise bag to make coasters/felted. They are knitted and then shrunk in the washer! But the fiber has to be 100% wool. I thought of telling you this because on their website under Tutti Frutti it says *feltable
Beautiful ! But I have to ask, why don't you use one hand to squeeze the bottle and the other hand to push the dye into the wool? Instead of switching hands again and again? I'm sure you have a reason, but I was just wondering. You make amazing yarn xoxoxoxoxxo
I had a stroke and don't have as much control over one hand
@@FiberLoveDiary Oh gosh, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean anything negative. I'm a chef, and was taught the "one hand wet, one hand dry" method, like when breading food and things, so that came to mind when I watched. I love your stuff, and I again apologize if I was out of line.
U uploaded this 6hrs ago hun
This is an edited version. It has the story removed and now I’ll never know what happened to Christopher!🤣
OMG!! You just made me and my husband snort laugh, Jessica! I'll find you the book title! 😂😂
In case you want to find out what happened to Christopher, it was Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky 😂
@@jessicacarter8945 lol Ah thanks Jessica ^w^
