I've been wondering how you can do this at home for quite a while. I always looked for yarn with gradients, but you can't find much of pearl cotton, what I prefer to use. And tie dyed yarn is really expensive, due to the shipping cost, because most of the shops are in the USA, and I'm not. (You wanna buy one skein for $5, and need to pay $20 for shipping to Germany ._.)
Anyway, I definitely wanna try this out, some day. Thanks so much for this helpful tutorial! ❤️
@Top_Xoxo The easiest way is to use a tie-dye kit which will contain the fabric dye you need. I've had good luck with 'Doodlehog Tie Dye Party Kit' on Amazon.
Okay so they turned out pastel. So if you want the product to be similar to the dye( like KrazyKnotz) use soda ash. If you plan on making them more pastel you can probably get by without soda ash. Unless your kit says you need soda ash. Mine either didn’t say or said you didn’t. Overall I found this very enjoyable and am looking forward to using my new thread.
For thread you can use other colors as long as they're a light color, it will just have a tint of the color that the thread was originally, this is called over dyeing.
