I just checked online, it doesn’t help when using plant-based fibers…

I‘m not an expert. But as far as I know, vinegar helps the dye bind to the fibers. I test red yarns for bleeding out. If necessary, I wash them before knitting and just add a little bit of vinegar to the water.

Vinegar is my best friend when dealing with red dyes ☺️

It’s REGIA sock yarn. It’s been in my stash for a long time, it might be discontinued, I don’t know.

For those who want to see how I made glassbeads for a friends necklace. Using glass rods "Effetre" (Murano). #lampwork #glassbeads #effetre #murano #glasperlen #handgemachteglasperlen #jewelry #artsandcrafts #handwerk

#ShowMeYourKnits & #Socktober: Right now, I’m knitting a pair of basic socks with leftover yarn, nothing fancy.

#ShowMeYourKnits joy and care week: I designed and knitted this top at the request of a teenager. It fits her perfectly. I hope it brings her joy. I think the color is joyful. Summertime ice-cream vibes.🧶
