This was fantastic! I love seeing all the differences. I think one of my favorites was the normal pink dip with a doubled up blue. Leaving white at one end, pink at the other and blue between. Its a fascinating color study on how two colors can truly create completely different colorways!
Can you imagine if I had swatched each of these, too? Some of the differences are super duper subtle, but there are a lot of tiny variations you can do with dip dyeing for sure.
Oh! It would be fun to see 3 colors! I so appreciate you making yarn dying accessible to newbes! I want to experiment doing this to get yarn that is fire-like!
I think an experiment to see the reproducibility of two broken colors together would be really interesting. Maybe as like a part three of this project.
Reproduability might be hard. Looking back at my Black Friday Thanksgiving yarn - I got a fair amount of variation in the colors without using colors that broke. But I'm super excited to try this out.
I saw the video last night and was really excited to watch it today! This is such a great experiment, and it's really interesting how layering pink over the blue seems to just deepen the blue in some cases rather than turning purple in all of them! My favorites are the folded pink dipped full-length into blue (~37 min mark). I prefer the more symmetrical results, and I'm loving the combinations of colors that this set of techniques gave! A video of multiple dips into Wilton's violet (or any other color that breaks distinctly) would be fantastic.
I think that the colors were less of a surprise to me this time after doing some of the triangle coloring mixing experiments. I wanted to pick non-red/blue combo... but since the yellow gets overwhelmed so easily I wanted two colors that could "stand up" to one another well.
Oh man, I do have some but I cannot link easily at the moment. I have a lot of dip dye a thons where I've tested breaking wilton's icing colors. Theyr'e older streams for sure, though. Basicially - if there is Red #3 in the icing color it will break. Pretty much all the time. Also check out my mystery combinations of breaking colors - those livestreams are awesome.
You are amazing!!! As an avid hooker (the crochet kind), I’m always looking for variegated yarns that work for my projects. It would be wonderful if you made swatches that help us envision how these color changes would look on a scarf, shawl, or sweater - anything where rows are pretty long & color shifts are more obvious.
Unfortunately I don't have the capacity to swatch most of the yarn I dye - I dye too many different colorways in small batches at the moment. I do try to swatch self striping yarn because I think it is helpful to see how many stitches you can get out of a color segment when it is that long. (Then you know if you want a 6 color striped yarn you need something way longer than what I used, etc.) If I am ever able to expand to be more than just me, I would love to be able to show more swatches. I really wish I could!!

This was fun to learn.
The yarn is also very pretty :)
Thank you! 😊
😍 They remind me so much cotton candy... They're making my mouth water.
Yummy! :D
I love all of the colors.
Take care and stay safe!
Thank you!

Thank you!
Love your dyeing experiment. So pretty.
Thank you! 😊
What a fascinating array of colourways, Rebecca! A really interesting experiment.
Thank you so much!
Super pretty yarn! 💙💜💕
Thank you! 😊
Wow! You never cease to amaze me! I love watching you dye yarn. Everything seems to come out looking amazing!
Thank you so much!
This would make very pretty gradient shawl.
OOoo yes. It might be hard to decide exactly how to fade them together, but the colors are so fun.
Beautiful fade effects 🥰
Thank you 🤗
They turned out so beautiful! I'd love to do colorwork with that and a solid main color
OOOo that would be awesome! Like with a deep indigo?
@@ChemKnitsTutorials ooo that would be gorgeous!!
Love these colors.
Thank you!
I really like how all of these turned out I like the bluprle that you got.
I LOOOOOVE blurple. :D
This is fascinating. ❤️ So many future experiments to contemplate. I would love to see this with breaking colors.
It would be so fun to layer breaking colors in different combinations!
Wow!! I love all these!
Glad you like them!
When I dip, you dip, we dip.
LOL! Your comments always make me giggle. Thank you, David!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials Life is too long to be serious all the time. Fiber-related levity is always in order.
I love it! I'll try this technique for sure!
Awesome!
fascinating I love this episode
Thank you so much!
You could do one of the dips while the skein was twisted and the other open.
Oooooo!
Great experiment! Really informative, thanks.
Thank you!
I would be interested in seeing you do this again only dyeing blue first then red. Since red dyes at a faster rate I wonder how they would compare.
It shouldn't make *that* much of a difference with this specific technique, but that would be fun.
So fun!!! Do you have a video that shows what other colors break? The violet one is so intriguing to me!!

@@ChemKnitsTutorials that’s okay!! This is new for us, so I think I’m going to watch all of the not professional dye ones!!!!!
I would love to buy some in a 4 weight or bulky. Rainbow 🌈in those weights also.
I don't dye as much worsted/bulky as I do fingering/dk, but I do dye it occasionally!
😍😍😍
Thank you!
