Want me to send you a valentine? Order the 2024 Mystery Valentine's Day Yarn bundle! chemknitscreations.etsy.com/listing/1659667153 100 g yarn wrapped with a sticker, progress keeper, and a handmade valentine that I created just for this bundle.
FOR SCIENCE!!! Thanks for showing this, I'm really glad you demonstrated how it's literally additive, it clearly shows by analogy how adding more blue colour to that pale blue fluoescent dye, you'll just decrease teh fluorescence.
I love the subtlety of the overdid yarns. I'm not surprised by your results due to the nature of physics and wavelengths but it was fun to see the experiment anyway. I'm wondering how many experiments there have been in history where people were expecting one result and getting another. That's why people have the expression "well, you never know."
It's why controls are so important. You may expect there to be no difference in an experiment, and that is super important to show so when there is a difference you can trust that it is real.
I love your personality! I have tried dyeing with sprinkles, KoolAid, and icing dye. I want to try it again, but my husband doesn’t want me to turn our kitchen into a dye studio! Can you recommend alternate ways to dye that doesn’t involve using the stove?
A lot of people will move their dyeing set up into a garage or other space. Sometimes I use an electric hot plate for kettle dyeing - especially in livestreams I'm likely to use that. I think that this is whwat I would recommend to not be in the kitchen.
I never thought about the black absorbing the glow, but now that you say it, that makes sense. Now I wonder if you knitted something with fluorescent and black stripes (say, one row fluorescent, one row black; or two and two, etc), would the black stripes make the fluorescent stripes less glowy? 🤔
I think the fluorescent stripes would pop super well next to the black - there would be a lot of contrast there. Of course, it depends on how close the light is, too.
This would still be fluorescent for sure! Even a bit of gray you can still see some glow, it is just the more of the black you add the less you'll be able to see the glow.
For several sessions now when you used the black light, I never understand why it would matter since out and about in the world we rarely encounter black light? Why would I care if it was light or no light visible? Am I missing something, other than a scientific experiment?
It really doesn't matter much out and about in the real world. Most people don't interact with a black light that often. It is a feature of some days that is part of the marketing - and that's a big reason why I talk about it. I also enjoy the science of it (even though I'm not going that much in the science of fluorescence - but it is fun to see if I can still see it or not under different conditions.) For me- I LOVE things that are fluorescent and seeing the glow makes me really excited. I don't remember the first time I used a fluorescent acid dye - or had a black light to check that out even. But it makes me happy.

Beautiful yarn! Thanks for the video.
You’re welcome 😊
Those fluorescent colors make me want to play with yarn dying today!
Then I've done my job right.

Exactly! Making that fluorescent blue was a balancing act for sure to get a blue color under visiable light but still seeing the fluorescence.
I would like to see these colors done in low immersion with dry powder. I think the variegation you'd get would be really interesting!
I think it would be stunning!
I thought the color way was really cute. I'm now interested in that Hawthorne color experiment you mentioned.
Thank you!!

@@ChemKnitsTutorials Exactly! That's why you change one thing at a time, with cooking, with sport, with medications etc.
What would happen with radioactive and emerald green? Or a color way with radioactive, Kelly green and emerald green would probably be really pretty.
Emerald Green is fluorescent! Slightly but it suprrised me!

@@ChemKnitsTutorials Thank you for answering! I got the ideas for the dyeing I’ve done from watching your earlier videos.

What about specking the black after dying the florescents.
This would still be fluorescent for sure! Even a bit of gray you can still see some glow, it is just the more of the black you add the less you'll be able to see the glow.

nice that you confirm what I grokked and I was on the right track. So nice to see you so alive and vibrant!@@ChemKnitsTutorials
All these fluorescent dyes make me want to go to a highschool dance (in the 70s) again.
