Love this yarn? There are two skeins available in the ChemKnits Creations Etsy Shop! www.etsy.com/listing/1027093619/variegated-fingering-weight-sock-yarn
Having followed your joyous work for years now, I really appreciate that there is no end to new inspirations. So many different possibilities just by adding one new twist!
I love this technique and use it all the time. It's often how I start a gradient or series. Halfing them and putting up to 10 skeins sideways is also a technique I use frequently.
Halfing them by leaving part out of the pot? It is so funny that I dye twisted skeins all the time but haven't ever tried it like this! I really like how it turned out for having more yarn in the pan. I want to explore it more.
I was wondering if you twisted the skeins slightly less but fold in half and link the nylon tie into both ends to keep the twist together would also allow you to turn the over without loosing the twist?.
I’m excited to see u dye all the techniques and versions with twisted skeins I love the idea of adding speckles to the remaining white areas This would also be a fun way to get some glazing on the skein with small amounts of dye by adding the twist after the original dye
I absolutely love this yarn, and look forward to seeing all the fun ways you devise to play with this technique! And yes, I want to see what 4 skeins in the pan does.
Cute shirt! I think you should try again and squish in a fourth skein. I love how brave you are trying different techniques and sharing your results. I think if you over dye with a bit of blue it would look nice, but I like the white too.
I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more of this kind of dyeing technique! Maybe don’t twist it as much as this time to maybe let the dyes sink in more. This turned out SO beautiful!!!!! Thank you, Rebecca!!!!!
I think I have to find a good balance of twisting + scrunching to help the skeins fit. I have another video coming out on Friday but I plan to play a LOT more!!
Beautiful results. I will have to try this technique. If I get too big white spots, I might use the space for some light speckle in a contrasting colour or black. Thanks for making think of all sorts of colour combos!
The same dye colour with a variety of different DOS, maybe with one pop of a different colour. I have a watermelon inspired picture in my head although a Greek Islands blue with a pop of something bright (from the doors) would be 😍😍😍
Gorgeous colors, I am so happy you left the white, it is beautiful! I wish I could see it knitted or crocheted up! Have you tried really super brights colors? Like The proper pineapples Holly's type color way? That would be interesting. Hot pinks! with black?😂
I do have this problem with the flourescent purple. The water seems to become never ever clear. I''d soaked the skein in vinegarwater during night, heatet it up again, let it cool again after the normal dye and microwave-session on the dyeing day.
Would it be possible to do a waterfall kind of technique where the pan like the one in this video is tilted downward slightly and the dyes are added to the top and allowed to slowly flow down to the bottom? Maybe you've already tried that or it is impossible, just thinking aloud. Have a wonderful day and thank you for the amazing content! You are so inspiring!
I think it would be neat to do something like dye with neons like you’d normally do and then twist the yarn like this and over-dye/glaze over with black
This would be nice to use with a pastel color yarn and as an overdue technique. I’m calling this the baguette technique since the skeins looked like French bread in the pan.
I absolutely want to play with speckling with this at some point! I think you'll like the ways I shifted the technique a bit in Friday's video after what I learned here.
Hi Rebeca! Have you had any issues with true black turning the yarn stiff? This recently happened to me and I don’t know why only the black section is crunchy…
@@ChemKnitsTutorials Thanks for answering so fast! I even dyed another batch with lower heat (80/20base) and it also happened. That weird… I’ll look out for comments about this, THANKS AGAIN!!
I think if I had more of the deep purple (which is a bit redder than the electric violet) there would have been a bit more contrast between them. I could have done just one for sure.
This was fun, I really liked the end result.... You should checkout shristycat on Instagram.. She has some videos with rolled up yarn and a technique that I really enjoy watching!!!
@@pilot_knits777 I found the IG yesterday - someone recommended it on FB and I think there was a similar autocorrect thing. The videos you mentioned are MESMORIZING!

Thanks so much 😊 There are so many things I haven't tried yet that I'm always so excited to learn more. :D
Very very pretty. The white just causes the colors to pop. Love the white. My favorite skeins always have white left behind.
Thank you so much! I get so nervous about white left over that I'm so glad I embraced it this time. :D
Thank you!! This was an awesome lab! Love my yarn. On my needles for a cozy pair of socks!
YAY YAY! Thank you so much for being my Lab Partner!! I'm so glad you love the yarn.
I would love too see how it knits up.

@@ChemKnitsTutorials No, as we skein the wool up to look pretty. Just pop them into the tray sideways.
I was wondering if you twisted the skeins slightly less but fold in half and link the nylon tie into both ends to keep the twist together would also allow you to turn the over without loosing the twist?.
@@Sues-ub4iv Yes, it probably would, an interesting idea to try.

There is a LOT of possibility! I've seen so many people share their pans like this in my feed I'm excited to do more!
I was also thinking using those same colours to speckle in some of the white areas would look fab!
Can’t wait to see the four skeins! This is lovely.
Thank you!
I'm so happy you didnt overdye it. It's so fun!!
THank you so much!
Watching marathon style replays!🙃
YAY! THank you. :D
I absolutely love this yarn, and look forward to seeing all the fun ways you devise to play with this technique!

Friday!!! :D
@@ChemKnitsTutorials yay!
Those turned out beautiful!! I like the amount of white that was left. I really want to try this after seeing this video! Thank you!! 🌸
You are so welcome! I need to try it out more and I'm so excited about it.
This color combination is great!
THank you! It is a color comfort zone for me for sure.
Cute shirt! I think you should try again and squish in a fourth skein. I love how brave you are trying different techniques and sharing your results. I think if you over dye with a bit of blue it would look nice, but I like the white too.
Thank you! 😊 I will do a pan with a 4th skein on Friday. :D

Love these colours
Thank you!
Beautiful technique!!! I bet that's going to look amazing knitted up! I'll have to try that and then play with the negative space after!!!
YAY! THank you so much!
I would add the fuchsia as well, but it's also so beautiful as is
I love how the colors came together!!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials agree, absolutely beautiful
This came out amazing, I never thought to use this technique and I m going to try it this week for sure. Thanks for the inspiration 😁
You are so welcome!
Oooh looking forward to part two! This turned out really pretty
Thank you so much!!
Wow! This yarn is awesome! Love the way it turned out
Thank you! 😊
I can’t wait to try this!!!!
Yay!
I really like this!!
I'm glad you didn't add more color, I like the white....
Thank you! 😊 I'm always nervous if I leave white behind it feels "unfinished" I'm trying to embrace it more!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials no no, it's perfect!!! A lot of Indy dyers I purchase from have lots of white (or pastel) background....
Love it.
Love it! Moving onto #2
Yay!! It is always fun when I'm dyeing something and immediately want to start a second video. :D
Beautiful results. I will have to try this technique. If I get too big white spots, I might use the space for some light speckle in a contrasting colour or black. Thanks for making think of all sorts of colour combos!
I want to do it again and then speckle on the light patches for sure!
The same dye colour with a variety of different DOS, maybe with one pop of a different colour. I have a watermelon inspired picture in my head although a Greek Islands blue with a pop of something bright (from the doors) would be 😍😍😍
Lovely!!!
I love it. Glad you did not add dye.
Thank you! It is sometimes hard to just stop and be done. :D
Love this technique, can't wait to try it!
Thank you!! It is a lot of fun even if I'm not great at twisting the skeins nicely yet.
Very nice 😍 interesting technique
Thank you so much 😊
Gorgeous
Thank you!
Gorgeous colors, I am so happy you left the white, it is beautiful! I wish I could see it knitted or crocheted up! Have you tried really super brights colors? Like The proper pineapples Holly's type color way? That would be interesting. Hot pinks! with black?😂
I have done some high contrast neons with black before, but not with this technique or anything. :D
Anyone else see the face in the yarn after she un-twisted the skein? Hilarious 😂
OMG! I don't remember if I saw anyone else say that in this video, but I've heard that in others. ;)
@@ChemKnitsTutorials well they say the mind is designed to spot faces. Like the so called face on Mars. Lol
love your dress
Thank you! :D
I do have this problem with the flourescent purple. The water seems to become never ever clear. I''d soaked the skein in vinegarwater during night, heatet it up again, let it cool again after the normal dye and microwave-session on the dyeing day.
It happened, that I twistet a skein last saturday as well. I'd put it into a pot with a dissolved easteregg colorpill. It turned out soooo great ♥
Fluorescent pink/purple are really hard and they are definitely in a less is more category. I tend to use them at less than a 1% DOS.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials I had to learn it hard 🤣 thank you for this advice.
Would it be possible to do a waterfall kind of technique where the pan like the one in this video is tilted downward slightly and the dyes are added to the top and allowed to slowly flow down to the bottom? Maybe you've already tried that or it is impossible, just thinking aloud. Have a wonderful day and thank you for the amazing content! You are so inspiring!
I'm not sure how I would quite prop the pan to do something like that on the stove, but I'll have to think on it!
V beautiful and v interesting
Thank you!
I think it would be neat to do something like dye with neons like you’d normally do and then twist the yarn like this and over-dye/glaze over with black
OooooooOOOoooooo.....
this yarn reminds me of a tie dye beach shawl i have would be cool if it looked tie dye made into a crochet shawl
OOooo that would be awesome!
This would be nice to use with a pastel color yarn and as an overdue technique. I’m calling this the baguette technique since the skeins looked like French bread in the pan.
OOOOO i like the name!!
Hahaha love it! I want to try the baguette technique.
Oooo instead of re-twisting maybe speckling on top??
I absolutely want to play with speckling with this at some point! I think you'll like the ways I shifted the technique a bit in Friday's video after what I learned here.
Eeek! Can’t wait to see!
Hi Rebeca! Have you had any issues with true black turning the yarn stiff? This recently happened to me and I don’t know why only the black section is crunchy…
No, I havn't had this experience. But someone shared something with silver gray.... I just haven't seen that myself
@@ChemKnitsTutorials Thanks for answering so fast! I even dyed another batch with lower heat (80/20base) and it also happened. That weird… I’ll look out for comments about this, THANKS AGAIN!!
I’m curious about why you chose two purples. I don’t really see a difference between the two.
I think if I had more of the deep purple (which is a bit redder than the electric violet) there would have been a bit more contrast between them. I could have done just one for sure.
This was fun, I really liked the end result.... You should checkout shristycat on Instagram.. She has some videos with rolled up yarn and a technique that I really enjoy watching!!!
Hmm... I couldn't find that account, the closest name is private. I'll try searching again later.

@@pilot_knits777 I found the IG yesterday - someone recommended it on FB and I think there was a similar autocorrect thing. The videos you mentioned are MESMORIZING!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials Yes, and so are yours..... Would love to see your twist on this technique...looking forward to it ❤️
