[0:00] Introduction
[0:54] What is glazing yarn
[1:57] The yarn bases
[3:06] Presoaking the yarn
in plain tap water for 20 minutes - overnight
[4:23] The dye colors
Dharma acid dyes in Brilliant Yellow, bright Aqua, and Ballerina Pink for the variegated layer.
Dark Navy and Royal purple for the glaze
[5:43] Yarn Lasagna; Dyeing the Variegated Layer
Pour some cold water on top of 200 g yarn and then layer on the dry powder. NO ACID.
yellow on the side, blue in the middle, pink on the end. Blend the yellow and blue more than the other colors. The yellow goes further so use a bit less of it.
[9:17] Adding Acid & Heat Setting this layer
heat for 30 minutes
Let the yarn cool before the glaze (just logistically, it would be okay if it was warm)
[13:46] A second lasagna round
[16:51] Yarn mops
[17:15] Prepping dyes for the glaze
To glaze 400 g of yarn, I measured out 0.25% DOS total. Measured 0.5 g of each color, dissolved in water.
[18:04] Glazing the yarn
32 cups of water + 1 g dye (mixed before) + 500 mL white vinegar (5% white vinegar) + 400 g yarn
heat from cold, for an hour (it takes some time to heat up and then we want 30 min of heat)
[25:04] Prepping dye for multiple glazing batches
Measured out 0.5 g Dark Navy + 0.5 g Royal purple for other batches (1 g dye total for 400 g yarn)
[26:33] I didn't save any unglazed yarn
[27:32] Removing the glazed yarn from the dyebath
[28:59] Glazed vs unglazed
[31:04] Washing the yarn
[32:50] The finished dry yarn
[37:31] The twisted skeins
