CB Live: Hand Dyed Yarn 

I’ve never attempted to dye my own yarn. After watching this video, I just might try it. But I’m going to have to do a little more research so that I’m not going into it completely clueless LOL. Wonderful job on that dyed yarn....it’s beautiful! Thank you!

Very informative and a pleasure to watch. You're adorable! Thank you I'm totally going to try this!

Wow! I am so impressed with how beautiful it works up when done. It's not at all like I expected. At first I was thinking it was too much trouble to dye you own yarn but now that I see the results I'm sold. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.

This was a dandy class......just starting to learn different methods of dyeing my handspun! Thank you!

I’ve dyed yarn a couple of times, and would love to try more after watching your video and probably even more.

Thank you for showing the swatch. Looks great and was surprised how it knitted up.excellent.

Awesome thanks! I'm thinking of dipping my toes into dying my own yarn so this would be a great way to try it out and see how I like it!❤️

You make the yarn look so beautiful & fantastic looking . Great job 👍👍

Thank you, great class. I learned a LOT!

This is super! :D Thank you food sharing, lovelies. ♡ Have a beautiful weekend. Xx

Beautiful yarn. Thank you for showing how it looked knitted up.

My first time viewing this. The yarn is gorgeous and knits up beautifully. I only have basic hand knitting skills, but I would love to have a go sometime. Not got the confidence to do so yet. Thank you. 😊

Glad to see how to make a hank from a skein or ball. Good to see how to tie it also to keep from getting tangled.

Loved this amazing video! Years ago I dyed something with Kool-Aid. I can’t remember if it was yarn or tee-shirts! Your yarn turned out great! Thanks!

I think I've watched this video around 20 times now. Each time taking notes so I don't destroy my yarn. Nearly every time, I catch a funny little comment by Faith, that I've somehow missed before. And I LOVE IT! Today, I caught the "Haunted Microwave" comment 👻

so so helpful! thank you for all the little tips and how-tos!

Thank you very much) great colors! Im from Russia and my English is not very good but your lesson is great and I understood almost everything))) you are great!!!))) thank you ))

off topic... wanted to tell you that your hair is so beautiful in every way. thanks for a great tutorial. the 3 colors made a GORGEOUS colorway! I was amaaaaazed!!!

Cool love the colors . thanks

just discovered your channel, loved it!!

Thank you for this informative video. I LOVED that you showed a knitted swatch so I could see how beautiful the yarn turned out. If you don't mind a suggestion, when someone in your audience asks a question, please repeat the question so viewers can understand your responses.

As an avid knitter, this is the coolest thing! Must try! 😍

"I'm always making useless cashmere things for babies. And they HATE it!" I laughed so hard

Loved this class!

love all the amazing tips!!:)

That was awesome , thank you guys so much. 😁

She’s adorable and this was sooo cool to watch!👍

I feel a yarn dying session coming on. Can’t wait to try this. 🤩

Awesome. Looking forward to making my own.

citric acid is used for preserving food. I get mine at the health food store in bulk.

It looks really cool.

Thank you so much! I'm new to dyeing yarn and i was a little overwhelmed with everything and did not dare to do it for a while. Your video is very helpful! The results is super nice! I still don't know which colour i want to associate yet... ^^ Also, on a totally unrelated note : wow you're so pretty!!! (genuine compliment coming from a married woman, so i'm not hitting on you or anything! haha :D) The thought just came to me several times during the video and thought I would tell you ^^ Once again, thank you so much for that really nice and well explained video. It de-dramatized the whole process a lot for me!

This was amazing! Thank you 😊

great class !!!!! Thank you very much

great video, looks beautiful. You are a great host.

So pretty!😍

Great video!

Beautiful 😍

Just watched & subscribed...loved it. My goal for 2018 is to start dyeing my own yarn. I plan to start with sock weight. I would like to use the crockpot method since I'm nervous about regulating heat in microwave or stove. Do you have any tutorials or tips for this method? TIA!

Good work mam.... ♥

Beautiful explanation

There was a question about using Lumiere (sp?) light activated ink to “dye”. Totally different technique needed. The ink works more like a paint on the surface of the yarn. It wouldn’t work with the process shown here, and it might affect the feel of the yarn,

I love dyeing . i use ty dye . thanks

I want to use this method to dye several skeins and then knit a sweater with them as the colors are just gorgeous! I know the first obstacle will be trying to get all the skeins to look like they're from the same dye lot. Second, after that rinse is done at the end with the same temperature water will the yarn be "dye fast" when it dries? For example, if you wore the sweater over a white shirt would the dye bleed on to the shirt? When I'd go to hand wash the sweater would more dye come out by in the sink? Thanks for a great tutorial!

Thank you so much for the tutorial! Would it be ok to use my kitchen microwave with the acid dyes? Or do you need a dedicated microwave for that?

Loved the video! But I have a question, how would get an ombre effect when hand-dying yarn? Also have you every dyed Alpaca yarn, any tips? Thanks!

very nice idea and completed tutorial Thank you so much jaime ton sourir tu es charmante

Great and cheerful presentation! Can the same spot dying and wrapping be used with food colors? Or does it have to be the powder? Thanks again!

It's so pretty! How many minutes do I have to turn? What's the name of the dye? Where can I buy it?

Love this! Can't wait to try it but was wondering if you can us a normal microwave used to microwave food (or does it have to be just for microwaving dyed yarn?) and also, I know if you do it stovetop, you need to use cookware just for dying. If you do it that way, after you pull out the yarn, can you just dump out the water (same with when you do a rinse at the end to remove the dyes) out into the kitchen sink or again, do you need a special sink due to the dyes? Thanks so much!!!

Great video! What if you want to have a base of white and pink yarn with a few speckles of color? Do you dye the pink part first, then wash and dry the yarn then redo what was in the video for the speckles?

Did I hear correctly that this due will work on nylon? Is 100% creslan acrylic fiber the same or should I use some other method to dye?

HI LOVED THE SHOW.. How did you dry the yarn? I am wondering if you would show a detailed dying with the acrylic yarn and with speckled & the wet dye as well? THANK YA THANK YA

Oh my goodness find me a use for my salad spinner because I never use it for my sandwich because I’m too lazy but I definitely will use that for dying yarn! LOL #Priorities

Can you dye the same skein twice? Like a base color and then again for speckles?

Are there any brands of wool that you can suggest? I'm trying to stay within a budget but would like some decent yarn to try dying. Also, should the water that I soak the yarn in be warm or room temp? And how much vinegar to water?

Good work

Love this! Can you list the names of the acid ink colors used? Thank you!!

I like this workshop learning to dye the yarn this way! You explained it so well. Thank you. I am just wondering, if it is possible to use creamy like fluid colors. So far I have seen in the video, you are using dry color powder.

You remind me of Olive Pendarghast from Easy A.

Hi there Faith, great video, thank you, and I adore your swatch! I'm doing my first ever dyeing and on Christmas Day I did a dusky rose/purple/lavender semi-solid immersion dye on 100% superwash merino. Today, I've done your speckle method on a 55/45 BFL/silk skein in a steamer. I only have a blue and bright pink dyes. (Don't worry, this will be rectified VERY soon!) I steamed for 35 mins but I think the heat may have been too low for most of that time as loads of pink dye came out when I washed it. Or could it have been because I had dry lumps of dye powder that didn't get properly absorbed? I was too impatient to wait for it to cool, so I put hot water in the sink (white, ceramic) and carefully added the yarn. Moved about vv gently with tongs and water went deep pink, but after about 30 seconds, the water started to get lighter until after about 2 mins, it was completely clear again! I gave it another hot rinse with some Soak, and a tiny bit of pink dye came out but again after a minute or so the water was completely clear. Would you expect this to happen? And is my dye fast now or not? Many thanks, Helen x

Nice tutorial, but I would like to see more on dying cotton yarn...not many of those out there

I love your hair, natural curls are so pretty! but you hardly ever see them anymore. All the girls in my family have wild curls.

What jacquard colors were used? And thank you for a great video

Amazing, how do you do gradient? Thank you for the beautiful tutorial

Where can I get the yarn to dye? Any white natural fiber yarn will do?

What is the brand of the powered dyes you used, and where can I purchase them? Thanks so much in advance!💝

You mentioned putting it in the oven at 220°, but you didn't say for how long. Or is this another thing of checking the yarn frequently to see of its finished? Also, the saran wrap us safe in the oven? Thanks, Tina

Hello! Wonderful lesson! Thanks you!! I have a question: please tell me the composition of the water for soaking yarn. Do you pour only vinegar there? Sorry for my English. I'm from Ukraine.

Thanks for all the info! Tell the camera person to sit still and zoom out next time. ;) Thanks!

Is there a difference between using vinegar or citric acid? Does one work better than another in certain instances or over all? Or is it really just preference because I really can’t stand vinegar except when it comes to pickles

Hello! I'm from Kazakhstan, my English is not very good, Tell me please, what kind of dye is this? Nutritional or for tissue? Please write the name of the brand ?

How long does it take the yarn to dry before knitting

I use superwash yarn to dye and even if I rinse it with cold water directly from microwave when it is hot, it does not felt

Can you use something else than plastic foil to wrap it with?

I loom knit

Question, I am wanting to just use the microwave for the whole process since it is cheaper electric wise and seems to be faster. Can you tell me if there is like a pros or cons to using a stove top steamer vs a microwave? Do the colors come out different or does it affect the yarn in a certain way? I would really love to know! Thank you in advance!

Hi, may I ask you, what's the ratio of water and vinegar in ml to soak the woollen yarn in the solution.

Do acid dyes work on polyester?

I’d like to try this technique on homemade cotton t-shirt yarn. Could you tell me what would be the best type of powder dye for this? Also, if you have any recommendation of colors that would give a similar effect to this video would be great. Thanks!

Can you use 50% merino and 50% acrylic?

can you use those dyes with angora

Could I do this with synthetic yarn as I'm allergic to wool

What is the best wool yarn to buy. The best deal? Where you can buy a lot maybe and make smaller skeins.

Where can I purchase these dyes and yarn? I am in Canada?

The girl commening in the background sounds JUST like Stevie Levine

Have you tried microwave dying with roving?

How long do you put it in the oven at 250 degrees? And can I just lay the yarn right in the pan wrapped in cling wrap?

What would u use for cotton yarn to dye?

Can you so this with worsted weight wool? Any kind of wool?

is it safe to use the same microwave afterwards for food?

Хороший мк 👍 а ведущая напомнила Аллу Пугачеву 80х годов😀

Is it safe to dye in the kitchen (provided I cover all surfaces and remove all food and food-pots)?

Is it safe to have pets in the room (as far as the breathing issue) or should I shut the cats in another room?

Also, what does it entail to become a "professional" dyer other than a ton of experimentation and experience?

can you give a link as to where to find the yarns you mentioned

Здравствуйте! Что за краски у вас? Какой фирмы? 🤗🧶

Must it be 100% wool?

can I use fabric colors?

I'm worried that this would felt or shrink the wool🤔also could you just squish that yarn to spread the pigment?
