After the dilutions are done, remove 1/2 cup of the last sample and set aside. Add 1/2 cup of water to each cup.

Perfect experiment to set the containers outside in the sun to heat set.

Love that yak colors, those are the shades I’m usually drawn to.

[sidmelucci]

That Yak (at the 5% DOS) came out absolutely gorgeous. I was drooling all over my cell phone screen!

[JHookCrochet]

Even with the tiny calculation difference, the colors all look great. I actually kind of like the effect it had on the Yak base. They don't look neon, but they are soooo beautiful.

Those color transfer streaks really are pretty. it really adds a fun touch to the set

[TheLyndz]

My word, who knew I'd like the look of that yak soo much! I really love this video. It would make color mixing so much easier. You can easily see where you might want more of a color. I kind of wish you also had a 1% on the green and yellow, since they are less saturated, although, I think the yellow will still be fairly close since it is so bright.

These types of videos are truly so helpful in understanding how quickly a color may fall off or fall out (like the blue falling out of the purple).

[melaniecrochets]

I was really hoping you would group the colors as gradients. So fun.

[ilaria]

Neon exhaust really easy especially at lower colour depth.. I dye nothing but neon pastels and they are almost holographic at the lowest depth

[lgassin]

Very cool! I wonder what the deal is with blue at the lowest DOS...not only did the purple get pinker and the green - more yellow, even the Frozen at the low DOS had a greenish case (or so it seemed on my monitor!).

[cherylshook]

Oh my goodness! These yarns are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for showing up some more of your many talents

[kimberlyhernandez]

This is gorgeous!!! You have these in a set?

[NancyLiedel]

Carribeann Blue is Wash fast and Jacquard turquoise. There is a difference in the...particle size, but it's all the same pure dye. How do I know? I have all three and I'm set for life. I'm also a foodie.
