VIDEO CONTENTS:
[0:00] Why do color mixing?
[2:41] Presoaking the yarn
Plain tap water, presoaking 25 - 20 g minis for a couple of hours
[2:48] The Mixing Plan
[5:06] Yarn Dyeing Math
[7:44] Making Stock Solutions
[8:21] Mixing the 25 samples
25 take out containers with 1 cup of plain tap water in each one
Adding 1.25 - 20 mL of each color to each cup (see the math section for recipes)
[10:41] Adding the yarn
no acid in the containers yet
[17:49] Adding acid
wait 15 minutes before add acid.
Add 1 tsp of white vinegar to each container. Stir
Add 1 more tsp (using up the vinegar I have on hand) to the deepest colors.
[19:56] Cool Vat Dyeing - 2 days later
cover the containers and Set the yarn aside for 24-72 hours to let the color absorb to the yarn slowly
After 48 hours, remove the yarn and steam set for 20-30 minutes to make sure the colors are set. With the cool vat we can put these together without color bleeding.
[22:53] Steam Setting the yarn
steam set for 30 minutes in a steamer baseket, 10-15 minis at a time
[24:44] Washing the cooled yarn
[25:58] The finished dry yarn
