By mixing Dharma Acid Dye colours, I have created my very first Muffs Merino approved yarn colour collection. I will show you the basics of dyeing semi-solid wool yarn step-by-step in a beginner style so you can begin upgrading your craft more quickly. Subscribe and follow along as I unearth my yarn shop from scratch.

This is a great way to dye yarn to obtain solid colour, however since making this video I have experimented with various yarn dyeing methods. New videos are coming :)

♥ Hi, my name is Lori and my goal is to teach, inspire and live off the land in style by knitting my own clothes, creating essential survival items and living luxuriously warm, dyeing fibre using bright acid colours and occasionally plants, fungi, muck and mud.

When I began wet felting 10 years ago, there were only a few basic tutorials. On this channel, I want to share everything I know so so that you can easily begin upgrading your craft by creating remarkable fibre art more quickly. From illustrative conceptual ideas into beautiful creative work that is ready to repeat quickly using minimal tools and resources.

Tip me a Coffee to help this channel grow :)

I so enjoyed your video! I am new to this and have only dyed a few times. I am really enjoying knitting with mohair held together with my projects and thought I could dye mohair to compliment the yarn I have in my stash. I think getting the measurements and technique right can feel intimidating and then that squashes the creativity. You made this look so easy. I think I may try to dye a little today! Thank you for the inspiration! All your hard work and time you put in to make your colors has paid off! Your color palates are so beautiful!

I thought I'd never be one to dye yarn, but what a change. Your dye book is just amazing and we can see the dedication and time spent on it. Thanks for sharing this video as it was so informative. I wish you success in your business.

Very soft and pretty. I hope you wear a safety mask when you are handling the acid dye powders, to mix your colors. 😊

I love your dying journey books. You have done alot of testing. Can you make a video how you test your colors?

[sandradelvecchio]

I found you on Etsy with your dye triangles and love that, then I was on YouTube watching wet felting- and it’s you! My goodness thank you for putting all this out there. I’ve made quite a mess testing dyeing. I’m a rush in and surely my talent will strike into success kind of person. That is not reality.

Awsome vidéo and beautiful colors.. ! English is not my language… so it is right in this video :0.02 gr Teddy bear and 0.2 gr red ? Thank you for sharing

[carla]

Hi Lori, is this also possible with the dye from Landscape dyes ? I saw you using them in older video's.

[sandradelvecchio]

The problem is I can’t get ahold of sunflower yellow, no one has it. Sold out even at Dharma
