@ChemKnitsTutorials 4 года назад

Thank you so much! How wonderful that you learned the craft as an adult! I started knitting when I was 10 years old - my 5th grade teacher taught me at school! I actually dyed my first yarn with her way back then, but I don't remember what kind of dye we used. :D

@magicalumbrella7151 3 года назад

If you want to wind a long hank and do not have access to a winder, place two chairs back to back. Create a loop of the desired length of yarn and place it over the two backs. Now move the two chairs apart until the loop yarn is stretched (not tightly) between them. If there is a likelihood of the chairs moving place a weight on the seat of each chair to keep them stable. Now you can neatly wind your yarn skeins with confidence between the two chair backs. After tying the yarn stabilizers, move the two chairs together and lift off your long hank.

@ChemKnitsTutorials 3 года назад

Another super fantastic tip! I often use this type of method to unravel my super long hanks if I dn't feel like setting the warping board back up.

@deejcarter2003 3 года назад

@hitzchicky 4 года назад

For the side rails, to prevent them twisting in, you could get a smaller dowel size, like a quarter inch or so, drill a hole through those top dowels while they're in place and then put the smaller dowel in to create a cross. This should keep it secure to prevent twisting with tension.

@ChemKnitsTutorials 4 года назад

We thought about doing something like that. Thankfully, since we're not perfect wood workers the dowels aren't in at perfect angles so it holds things tight pretty well.

TIP, place slithers of wood in the pan underneath the jars to keep them off the bottom of the pan and are then less likely to crack.

@ChemKnitsTutorials 3 года назад

This is a great tip! I use a pasta insert in the pot which keeps them above the bottom (there is about an inch of liquid beneath them) but a board would work well, too, for people who don't have inserts.

@dominiquemichaud7945 4 года назад

Great success (in my view)! I like your warping board. I weave more than I knit and I made one myself some time ago. I didn't think about using railing wood for that, good idea you had. It's good also that you found a solution about an efficient way to assemble / disassemble it. When a make a warp for weaving, I will use a guide / leader thread which will help me form the path of the warp on the board. Since you need a circular path instead on a linear one as for weaving, I think it may help you to decide where the yarn will go. The way you put the yarn on the board at the end of the video looks more adapted to what will be useful for you. Happy dyeing!

@time2unwind537 4 года назад

I would love to see those colors, but with a paler orange, perhaps, for visual contrast. Love the idea of taking it to four colors.

@ChemKnitsTutorials 4 года назад

A paler orange would bring more contrast - especially with the pink. I didn't think to look at this in B&W like I enjoy doing with some of my other videos.

My husband made my warping board using pvc since I’m disabled and unable to lift stuff over certain weights and my pvc one is perfect.

@ChemKnitsTutorials 4 года назад

I wanted to make one out of PVC initially - and that would definitely be lighter. I was trying to find the most cost effective way to DIY one to share with people. But I also highly recommend PVC pipe for everything!

@sharonking7978 4 года назад

Wow, great job today Rebecca. But, I think it looks like a LOT of work to get it done. I think I would have had to keep that for myself. It was however fun watching you do all the work. Thanks.

@ChemKnitsTutorials 4 года назад

Self striping yarn is a lot more work than other types of colorways. Gradients can be a lot of work, too. It takes a similar amount of time to wind a long skein as it does to crank a blank I think. Maybe the blank is a bit longer. I didn't time myself doing this, but I watched some RU-vid videos while I worked. :D

@magicalumbrella7151 3 года назад

If you hang the winder on the wall and work side to side you will find it way easier to make a long hank.

If you get 3/8" rubber gaskets from the hardware store you can put them over the pegs that stick out at the join and it will hold it pretty securely. That's how the dowels on Schacht's Tension Kate are secured.

@KrissD. 4 года назад

What a gorgeous hank! What exactly is difference between this warping board thing ( that I have no idea what it actually is lol) and using a yarn swift to wind and hank up a skein of yarn 🧶. ?? Thank u for sharing. Could u please show us how to put & actually show how u tie / make the ties the ties in the wound hank of yarn where the hank won’t come apart or tangle? ☺️

@ChemKnitsTutorials 4 года назад

Kriss - I set such a bad example of adding ties to yarn. Normally I just add a reusable nylon zip tie and call it a day. In this video I did add some butterfly ties, but you could do that on a smaller skein as well. I hope to make a dedicated video on preparing a skein for dyeing at some point. The warping board is a tool that weavers use to make really really long lengths of yarn that they use for the warp of fabric, scarves, etc. Dyers can find these useful to make skeins longer than they might be able to from (for example) having two chairs super far apart in a dining room. I haven't filmed a proper tutorial with my warping board because I'm still practicing on how to use it myself. It is fun and useful, though. The warping board creates a skein that is WAY too big to fit on a swift - which usually works well for skeins 1-2 yards in diameter. Some people like to reskein things so they can be a consistant length.

@KrissD. 4 года назад

@TrudySchwartzBurrill 4 года назад

Great job. QUESTION PLEASE. Love that you make your own tools like the warping board. Very cool. Great yarn. Where do you learn how long the lengths need to be for self stripping yarn? How do you know what the yarn will look like and how the stripes will go/. Crazy, it must be mathematics, where I’m good as long and only if I know how to enter the calculation into the calculator to get correct answer. THANKS IN ADVANCE. My three colors would be two type of browns one dark one lighter maybe beige and a beautiful light blue.

@ChemKnitsTutorials 4 года назад

This is a great question! I think there is some trial and error since it depends on how wide you want the stripes to be. The best way to calculate is to cast on and knit at the gauge you would use for socks. Unravel and measure the length of yarn. Multiply this length by the number of rounds you want the stripe to be, and how many stripes total. I've found that ~3-4 yards of bare yarn per color gives a nice sized stripe. There are people who can give MUCH better recommendations on this than I can. I'm still figuring this out myself!

@byshpng 4 года назад

OMG! that is gorgeous! Can you wind from the warping board into a cake rather than the intermediate step of the niddy noddy?

@ChemKnitsTutorials 4 года назад

Absolutely! I would probably unwind a few yards at a time and then wind onto the cake. I'm not sure if it would pull off directly if that makes sense. I prefer to store yarn in skeins versus cakes, but if the sponsor had asked me to cake up the yarn then I might have gone directly to a cake. (Of course, maybe not since I might want to show the skein for the video.... but this is a case where I might do things differently if I wasn't filming.)

@cdl2319 2 года назад

Can you do a video to explain more about the mistake you are talking about on the warping board?

@ChemKnitsTutorials 2 года назад

This is a great question - unfortunately I think it would be hard for me to do because I'm not 100% sure how I made the error. I think I must have flipped direction at some point when winding. I would say the best advice is to make decisions when turning to always go over the peg (for example) and try to maintain that consistency.

@melissajodrey9663 2 года назад

I am just getting started on my dye adventures, just wondering if the error will end up in every skein? 🙃 if not, how do I avoid it. Thank you MJ

@ChemKnitsTutorials 2 года назад

The striping error was likely due to the fact this was one of my first times winding on the warping board and I must have crossed it at some point. I haven't made this mistake again (yet!)

It is not that much cheaper than purchasing a warping board, but Dyer Supplier really wanted me to try to make one myself. I might have tried PVC pipe but that would have gotten so expensive so fast.

Great question! it is a device like a frame with a lot of pegs that weavers use to create the warp - or the long strands on the loop when they make a woven fabric. Dyers use this to make super long skeins for self striping and gradient type projects.

You keep saying mistake. It is a happy accident that is always a risk when dying yarn this way.

You're right, it is a happy accident! I was sad because I hoped that I could correct it with the dyeing. If I did a 2 strip colorway then it would have been invisible. BUT our sponsor is excited for the happy accident.
