Nicole Frost's video: A New Way to Speckle Dye Yarn

The urea, citric acid, and dye can be purchased from www.dharmatrading.com What is urea and why use it? From Dharma's website: "Recommended for use with Fiber Reactive Dyes when doing tie-dye, painting, printing and other methods of direct application. Urea is a 'moisture drawing' agent or 'humectant' which keeps the fabric damper longer during the curing or fixing process, thereby making for deeper, brighter colors. Fiber Reactive dyes won't "fix" if they dry out!" In this case, adding urea to your dye mix allows you to spray the dye and have it fix where it lands in a tight line/dot. Without the urea you get a blotchy result, instead of a Speckle or line you get blobs of color as big as your thumb. This video was funded by my lovely patrons at www.patreon.com/frostyarn . Consider joining the fun and getting sweet yarn/fiber perks plus a ton of dye content guided/directed by you! Love, Nic @frostyarn
